Lois ‘I have done nothing wrong’ Lerner demands immunity from prosecution in return for testimony

 

"Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she’s given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO Tuesday.

 

That makes it sound as though Lerner’s giving a strong hint to the committee that they should be negotiating with her for this testimony. No prosecutor would make an immunity offer without first getting a proffer on what the witness has to disclose. Few witnesses or their attorneys would demand immunity without having something to tell, either, and without that “something” pointing at bigger fish to fry than themselves.
That’s is an awful lot of wrangling for a public official who claimed to have broken no laws:"     [Michelle Malkin]
