After Getting Busted In a Huge Lie Fox News Is Shocked that Lois Lerner Won’t Testify


After Getting Busted In a Huge Lie Fox News Is Shocked that Lois Lerner Won’t Testify

Katie Pavlich of Townhall was shocked today to learn that Darrell Issa got it wrong again. On Sunday, Darrell Issa got the conservative juice flowing by promising that Lois Lerner would be testifying on Wednesday, when her attorney had already said she would not. He reiterated that stance for the dim witted, to no avail.

Fox News published her outrage over Lois Lerner pleading the Fifth today in Issa’s ongoing IRS Fictional Drama:

Appearing in front of the House Oversight Committee Wednesday morning Lois Lerner, former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS, refused to answer questions asked by lawmakers by pleading the Fifth Amendment. Earlier this week, Lerner’s attorney William Taylor confirmed to Committee members in an email that she would testify. Lerner was issued a subpoena last summer after admitting the IRS singled out conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

And another Fox News article has been trending on the Internet, bemoaning the “fact” that Lois Lerner wouldn’t testify after her agency improperly targeted conservatives (the truth is that the agency “targeted” both conservatives and liberals, and the only group denied status was a liberal one):

to the new jobs program the Republicans have placed in full swing for years.

That is the new political factory jobs for biased media, and think tank fuel. To generate crisis always with the right hand rule of mystery, loaded with powerful singularities in heresy, and trash talk. When Republicans say we have a jobs program they really mean it. Congress is an intelligent combined effort in air heads like Cruz and Issa for any research and development political factory formulating offensive maximum political pain.

This is all evidenced by the upshot in headache and misery pharmaceutical commercials in mainstream media. The curious theme in now is in safety for your bank account to be protected from theft is huge today. Especially banks that offer debit and credit card service, there is a funny ring to all that noise.

Knowing very well a six hundred trillion dollar investment market is freewheeling away unannounced without any theft problems till someone goofs and the tax payer is beckoned to resolve the issue. That’s a neat some of money, a six trillion dollar derivative market.

Makes all America wonder why social security cannot be tripled in payouts from “faithful” tax payers to share the bounty from that trillion dollar market. That would be very solid cure for the end of poverty with a living wage that eases civil social structure for Pease and Prosperity, Life and Liberty to encourage good citizenship though out one’s life. We prove that business is loaded with uncertainty but government can be stable if operated in good faith.

The IRS should have the right to audit anyone. Especially, those in today’s politics, where favors with lobbyist, and political donors slip each other sacks of money. Stop this nonsense of targeting just a single political person or party, any suggestion of wrong doing should trigger an extensive forensic trail to resolve corruption. As a politician all connections to money should be public. Especially for political people that ditch money to avoid taxes.
