Second IRS staffer pleads the FifthBy RACHAEL BADE | 6/26/13 11:02 AM EDT Updated: 6/26/13 2:50 PM EDTA second IRS employee summoned to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee invoked the Fifth Amendment on Wednesday and refused to answer questions — a flashback to Lois Lerner, who did the same during a hearing on the agency’s scandal last month.Gregory Roseman, who worked as a deputy director of acquisitions at the IRS, exercised his constitutional rights when Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) started interrogating him about panel findings that he helped a friend procure potentially $500 million worth of IRS contracts.“On the advice of the counsel, I respectfully decline to answer any questions and invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege to remain silent,†Roseman said when Issa asked to whom he reported at the IRS.Issa continued: “Mr. Roseman, when did you first become aware of a company called Strong Castle Inc.?â€Roseman, who has been removed from his position pending the outcome of an inspector general investigation, repeated his first statement.
