Highlight:

Lois Lerner is not testifying because the GOP can't have Dems grilling her !!!! [View all] swayne May 2013 OP

i'm confused Enrique May 2013 #1

Me, too. Didn't her manager admit that it was his idea to have the question planted? randome May 2013 #4

yes Botany May 2013 #15

I thought her supervisor, Steven Miller, suggested the planting of the question. randome May 2013 #22

Why was it planted? I don't think they did anything wrong. southernyankeebelle May 2013 #29

They certain ACT like they did. Especially with Lerner now pleading the Fifth. randome May 2013 #31

There was an admission it was planted. But why? Because we now know there were southernyankeebelle May 2013 #34

Immunity from what? Raine1967 May 2013 #2

Lerner doesn't want to get on the bad side of the GOP. Not testifying shields her from that. swayne May 2013 #13

From criminal prosecution. When someone takes the 5th, if they give immunity pnwmom May 2013 #36

Lerner is a GOP operative and if she has to answer questions the GOP scandal will fall apart. swayne May 2013 #3

Corporate Media has already played it up that if Lerner doesn't testify, it would affect Pres. Obama BlueCaliDem May 2013 #7

Exactly and THAT is my point. Lerner by not testifying, in a perverse way, makes Obama look bad. swayne May 2013 #10

I'm sorry, but you've misread the point I was making. What you posted is NOT my point at all. BlueCaliDem May 2013 #12

It makes it look that OBAMA is hiding something. He isn't. The GOP is hiding the truth. swayne May 2013 #14

True. But it's been the main goal of Corporate Media to paint this scandal-free president BlueCaliDem May 2013 #20

the American people need to know that the people you highlighted were part of HeroInAHalfShell May 2013 #24

It matters BlueCaliDem May 2013 #30

There is the same thing going on with the left. HeroInAHalfShell May 2013 #35

Yup. 100% of the media is against the President and his agenda. graham4anything May 2013 #23

I know, G4A. But more and more people are finally coming to understand BlueCaliDem May 2013 #32

Yup. But we gotta keep saying it. So it sinks in. graham4anything May 2013 #33

There are plenty of people at the IRS with information on the audits. former9thward May 2013 #16

The truth will out - and it shall be outed. Issa took a more somber tone BlueCaliDem May 2013 #21

I wonder who is paying her off HeroInAHalfShell May 2013 #25

giving her immunity means no prosecution ever dsc May 2013 #5

I don't think it will go anywhere but it still looks bad just from a outside perspective Puzzledtraveller May 2013 #6

Lerner holds the key to having this whole scandal blow up in the GOP's face. This works for them. swayne May 2013 #8

That makes sense Puzzledtraveller May 2013 #9

Yes it does. ananda May 2013 #18

There isi no smokescreen. former9thward May 2013 #19

What about a Special Prosecutor? Horse with no Name May 2013 #17

That's what the GOP wants! atreides1 May 2013 #26
