Lois Lerner fears for her life if she testifies openly before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, according to her attorney.

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa announced Sunday that Lerner will testify at Wednesday’s hearing, but Lerner’s attorney Bill Taylor said that Lerner will seek to continue invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and will also seek a one-week delay of her testimony.

Oversight members are reportedly open to granting Lerner a one-week delay if she petitions for one in person at Wednesday’s hearing. The delay would allow Lerner’s lawyers to continue negotiating for immunity, which they have been doing since at least September.

  1. If she really didn't do anything wrong (or illegal) - exactly what is she afraid of? Or does she buy into the liberal line that everyone (except for them) is just looking for an excuse to do something evil? If that were true, they would all have been taken care of already..................

    1. I figured they would have given her immunity right away to get at the bigger guys, but I guess they think they have a chance of getting her also.

  2. She's worried she might become a victim of suicide. You know? Shoot herself in the back of the head? Four times?

    1. :) Must have the administration on pins and needles as it goes to the very top and they would kill her in an instance, if they thought it would be to their benefit, mark my words.
