Obama’s lawyers say Lois Lerner didn’t violate law when she went to Congress, made a statement that she didn’t do anything illegal, then invoked the Fifth.
She did Obama’s bidding, suppressed the Tea Party before Obama’s re-election in 2012, so it’s no surprise Obama’s boys come up with a reason not to prosecute.
But claiming innocence…THEN invoking the 5th amendment to avoid testimony?
Making a statement negates 5th amendment privilege, but Obama says that’s okay.
Lawlessness, once again. Just one more reason to justify impeachment.
- He controls the IRS people that did the dirty work;
- controls the Justice Dept. that won’t prosecute;
- and shreds the rule of law.
But timid elected Congressional Republicans won’t invoke Constitutional principle.
(Which, when you think of it, sorta justifies holding Congress in contempt.)
