Last time he came our governor found somewhere else to be, so did the Lt Governor. He is not well liked here, didn't even carry one county in either election

Q: How can you find out what happened if Lerner took the fifth? Carney: We'll just check some reporters' phone records. #nonotreally

What exactly...legally does Social Welfare mean?

[clearvision]

What exactly...legally does Social Welfare mean?

Giving money to any dem group, cause, activity. Note it is the opposite of a political activity which includes giving money to any rep group cause or activity.

Lois Lerner has not heard the last of this.

Is there a legal definition in the tax code...or federal law? It's one thing to say you are a Social Welfare group, great fine, but what the hell does that mean? I know politically what it means, but what legally does it mean.

[Valin]

Trust in the IRA! Yeah right.

White House Set to Throw Lerner Under the Bus

snips

 

Wednesday morning, prominent liberal journalists, Josh Marshall and Ezra Klein, both called on Lerner to be fired. Their articles calling for Lerner to be fired were posted within 30 minutes of each other, just as the hearing was getting under way.

 

Which is interesting considering this tweet yesterday from NPR correspondent Ira Shapiro:

 

 

 

Spotted: @joshtpm @CapehartJ @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

Darrell Issa: Lois Lerner lost her rights

RACHAEL BADE

5/22/13

 

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again.

 

The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service.

 

“When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
