Lois Lerner Says She Will Testify Only If Granted Immunity Or Under Court Order
USA Today
WASHINGTON — Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner will testify about the IRS handling of Tea Party cases only in exchange for an immunity agreement, her lawyer told a congressional committee Wednesday.
Until then, Lerner will not answer questions unless ordered to do so by a federal judge, her attorney said.
The response from attorney William Taylor came the day after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee ordered Lerner to reappear at a hearing next week. When Lerner appeared before the committee last May, she asserted her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Wild Thing’s comment.………..
IMO the only reason a person wants to be granted immunity is when they are guilty..
Only those who are guilty of crimes want immunity to testify and take the Fifth. This woman who is guilty of breaking the law has a six figure retirement income. What a freaking joke our government has become.
She is now bribing us by promising to withold the truth unless we pay her pieces of silver(immunity). Let’s hope one federal judge takes up her challenge and issues a court order.
