Lois Lerner, former director of IRS Exempt Organizations, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights for a second time before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. During a May 22nd, 2013 hearing, she invoked for the first time her rights to refuse to testify after her opening statement. After Ms. Lerner refused to answer questions, Committee Chair Issa immediately adjourned the hearing, setting off a testy exchange with Ranking Member Cummings who wanted to make a statement.

It's pitiful that Chairman Issa is up to it again.
Damn your avatar. I had something interesting to write and all that came out in my words was ass.
Looks like someone is trying to hide something.
So by using the 5th Amendment, aren't you like admitting that you've done something wrong? I know they can't use it against you, but is there a reason to use it in a case like this if you're innocent?
Well considering the news organizations jumped to it and all you heard was that it was conservative groups when in reality it wasn't and now the committee that was produce its decsion has been all but one sided thanks to Chairman Issa. Yeah someone does have something to hide. I can almost guarantee you someone right is gonna bring this up during the election part of the year.
