After Taking the Fifth, Lois Lerner Wants Immunity Over IRS Scandal

Surprise surprise. After making an opening statement during a congressional hearing weeks ago on the IRS targeting of conservative groups and then pleading the fifth, Lois Lerner wants immunity. As a reminder, Lerner is the head of tax exempt organizations for the IRS and admitted the agency inappropriately targeted conservative groups between 2010 and 2012 after being asked a planted question at a conference. She has been put on paid administrative leave for the summer.

Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she’s given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO Tuesday.

“They can obtain her testimony tomorrow by doing it the easy way … immunity,” William W. Taylor III said in a phone interview. “That’s the way to resolve all of this.”

I pay my taxes each year faithfully. After hearing about the IRS scandal coupled with everything else im going to find a way to get off the radar.

I really don't blame her for wanting immunity. She'll be made the fall guy while everyone else who had a hand in the targeting will get at most a transfer to another position.

Fire her, no money, no pension, no healthcare benefits, nothing. See how much she starts talking when she thinks she may have to go in the real world, and get a real job.
