Fox's John Scott to Lois Lerner: Answer questions if you want the death threats to stop

Sounds kind of like a threat, doesn't it?

Fox News host Jon Scott on Wednesday advised former IRS official Lois Lerner that she should give up her constitutional rights and testify before Congress if she wanted threats against her life to stop.

During a House Oversight Hearing on Wednesday, Lerner invoked her right under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and refused to answer Chairman Darrell Issa's (R-CA) questions about the IRS targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.

Lerner's attorney had previously asked the committee not to call her to testify, citing numerous death threats.

"She felt she was getting death threats, that she felt concerned about her safety," US News and World Report's David Catanese told Scott on Wednesday.

1. Really, now? n/t

[LiberalFighter]

2. How would he feel if death threats were made against him for his poor reporting?

Would he stop or say he has a constitutional right to be an ass?

[Iggo]

3. Did he just threaten her life if she doesn't answer?

Wow!

[Rex]

5. That is the way I read it!

Someone call the FBI...he just threatened her life!

[underthematrix]

10. That's the way I read it too.

[The Wizard]

4. Let's start calling Fox what it is

a terrorist organization.

[florida08]

6. Wow

I knew Fox got away with murder but this is a warning as if he is pulling the strings to the calls. Fox is the mob now?

[CJCRANE]

7. This sounds like a made up excuse to me. Let the truth come out.

There is no indication of who is making them or why they are being made. This sounds more like a stalling tactic to me. And if there are threats (real or fabricated) it shouldn't be too difficult to find out who they're from.

[EC]

8. They'd increase if she tells the truth

and it's not what they want to hear.

[Stonepounder]

9. How is this any different from the rest of RW hypocrisy?

Congress just voted down the nominee to head up the Justice Dept on civil rights because (gasp!) he helped someone assert their Constitutional Rights. They pass laws they KNOW are unconstitutional, just so they can grandstand. They don't give shite about the citizenry only about the size of their bribes from lobbyists.

And we still elect them. And FOX, and Limburger, and the rest of the RW garbage spew goes on unabated, ust like the chemical spills in WV.
