    Congressman Stockman: Not Even Boehner Can Stop Lois Lerner’s Arrest

    On Thursday, Congressman Steve Stockman announced that he and several colleagues filed an official resolution calling for the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Lois Lerner, a key figure in the Obama IRS targeting scandal, for contempt of Congress

    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    More grandstanding by a do-nothing congress.

    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    It may be the first domino thats needed to start the inevitable cascade of co-conspirators flipping on each other and vying for a deal. Real consequences tend to do that. Fingers crossed.

    The unindicted co-conspirators surely are squirming in their seats now.

    Yes. It has been simple enough for her to sit and claim the Fifth knowing she'll be home in time for Dancing with the Stars. Hoping this is a game changer....

    It's possible but highly unlikely. More likely is that she will come back and testify. Expect that testimony to include the phrase "I have no clear recollection of that" over and over again.

    Even if they get around the 5th amendment issue, it's nearly impossible to get useful testimony out of someone who doesn't want to give it.

    There is no 5th Amendment issue to get around. You cannot testify, then invoke the 5th to avoid cross-examination. That is exactly what she did, and she waived her right in doing so.

    Only if she was a defendant, if she was called as a witness they she can use the 5th selectively if she chooses to.

    To be clear, my statement applies to criminal law, congress may or may not have its own rules on the issue.

    Speaking of...


    Lois Lerner’s Former FEC Colleague Has Emails Go Missing Too

    The Federal Election Commission recycled the computer hard drive of April Sands — a former co-worker of Lois Lerner’s — hindering an investigation into Sands’ partisan political activities, according to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

    Sands resigned from the Federal Election Commission in April after she admitted to violating the Hatch Act, which bars executive branch employees from engaging in partisan political activities on federal time and at federal facilities.

    The twist is that Sands also worked under Lois Lerner when the ex-IRS agent — who is currently embroiled in a scandal over the targeting of conservative political groups — worked at the FEC’s enforcement division.

    Damn. This stuff heats me up so bad......
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
