The Patriot Post® · Lerner to Testify. Or Not.

Rep. Darrell Issa said Sunday that “retired” IRS official Lois Lerner would testify to Congress regarding the political targeting at her agency. “We did not,” he said, offer her immunity in exchange. They already know much of what she and her cohorts did; they just need to find out why. But hold the phone – Lerner’s attorney says, “As of now, she intends to continue to assert her Fifth Amendment rights. I do not know why Issa said what he said.” We maintain that Lerner forfeited her Fifth Amendment rights when she testified that she had done nothing wrong before claiming those rights as a way of avoiding questions. But the future is clear: She either will or won’t testify.
