Former IRS mandarin Lois Lerner orchestrated an unprecedented crackdown on Tea Party and conservative groups and then attempted to scapegoat those nonprofits, blaming them for the harsh treatment they received at her instigation, according to a damning report released yesterday by congressional investigators.
The report came out six days after Lerner appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee under subpoena and for a second time refused to testify about IRS targeting of right-of-center 501c4 nonprofit advocacy groups during the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. (The full report is available in PDF form at the committee’s website.) At the March 5 hearing, which was a continuation of a hearing started last year, Lerner again opted to invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

Those who work for government should have limited 5th Amendment privileges when it involves withholding information belonging to the people, and especially in cases where violating the people's rights is achieved under guise and protection of government itself.
Can you say "Lying Sack" ? Right up there with Eric Holder and Susan Liar Rice. This whole administration stinks to high Heaven.
Once again I ask, so what are they (Congress) going to do about it? I didn't see one thing in the source article about charging her.., with anything.
