Stonewalling: IRS official Lois Lerner invoked the Fifth amendment to Congress today, defiantly refusing to answer any questions.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

It was laid out by Mr. Issa that there may have to be arrangements made to provide immunity for Ms. Lerner. This is a process that has to be followed from the bottom up. As I watch the hearings it is unusual to watch both Republicans and Democrats relatively equally outraged at the actions taken by the IRS.
She can have immunity from jail time if she points fingers to those who gave her the orders or OK to do these things.
She should lose her job and federal employee status no matter what. No big government retirement for her. Tell her she will spend the rest of her life on Obama care like the rest of the citizens instead of some fancy government employee medical plan.
If someone lower than her points the finger at her she goes to jail, unless she talks.
Be patient, this is going to take time.
She should lose her pension and other government benefits as well.
It will probably depend on whether she is a union member or any number of other rules and technicalities. Mr. Hasan is collecting his pay to the tune of some $200,000.00 plus dollars ever since he committed his “work place violence” and killed 12 people while shouting Alah Akbar. This is how insane our ideology driven politics and beaurocracy has become.
In her statement she indicated that she would not testify today which I read as she will testify in the future with the proper considerations in place. She will not be able to have her cake and eat it too.
You threaten pensions and benefits and people REALLY start to take notice.
Then you start reminding them of the those uncooperative air traffic controllers.
They will stand up and take notice.
Take a heavy handed stand now and for the next 20 years you will not have to worry about the same thing happening.
Oh, I agree with you, but if you notice, that’s not the way that it has been set up. The horses are out of all of these barns (as far as the low level workers and their benefits)
You can’t blame a leopard for having spots.
