IRS SCANDAL: ARMED POLICE 'ESCORT' REPORTERS THROUGH CINCINNATI OFFICE

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place.

According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn't to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect."

ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington. A Washington spokesman told ABC that press queries are "referred to the press office," but that "people have First Amendment rights, they are entitled to speak."

An employee in OH said that is not the case and that staffers have been threatened with their jobs if they are caught talking to the media:

Isn't it comforting to learn that no thuggery exists in this administrtion?   :panic:

Top IRS official will invoke 5th Amendment

Quote
WASHINGTON — A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening — or why she didn’t disclose it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,” said a letter by Taylor to committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Vista). The letter, sent Monday, was obtained Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times.

I'm sure it's because Holdem & the DOJ are planning to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.  Right?.......Right?

They always tell juries to not let "pleading the fifth" cloud their decision in any way.  How is that humanly possible?  It screams GUILT in the court of public opinion, anyway.

I'm sure they all have lawyers who have told them how to answer questions.  There is no way this Administration is going to let Congress find out anything.

Then if she's done nothing wrong counselor...why plead the 5th?  If she's innocent then there's nothing she could say that would incriminate her right?

Right?

They let the scrunt give an opening statement.  That was testifying. Once she said anything but pleading the fifth, she opened herself up.  The dickless congress let her off.
