Lerner will testify Wednesday before the House Committee on Oversight

and Government Reform. She has dropped her request for immunity (why

would an honest person ask for immunity).

This, according to Lerner's attorney.

Rep. Darrell Issa doesn't know what he's talking about, the attorney for

former IRS official Lois Lerner said Sunday.



Issa, the California Republican who chairs the House Oversight and

Reform Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" that Lerner, the former head of

the IRS tax-exempt division, would testify before his committee Wednesday,

which he said he had been told by her attorney.



That attorney, William W. Taylor, said Issa is wrong.



"As of now, she intends to continue to assert her Fifth Amendment

rights," Taylor told POLITICO. "I do not know why Issa said what he said."


That's a good find. I thought Issa was really dumb for telling Chris
Wallace some of the areas of questioning they planned, even some of
the specific questions. Looks like he's even dumber than that. I sure
wouldn't go on TV saying she was now going to testify, unless I had a
letter in my hand from her attorney saying so. It almost sounded like
Issa was making excuses for her, saying something about how her former background
was in enforcing election law, and hinting that something about that
may have given her a different perspective on the nuances of the IRS
rules, etc.

Just another sad example of why this administration gets away with so much. The Republicans are the gang that can't shoot straight, or even avoid
shooting each other.
