Obama's IRS Targeted the Tea Party

As I understand it there is a difference between criminal trials and appearing before a legislative body. In a criminal trial you have the right not to testify against yourself and once you take the stand and testify you have to ask the questions asked of you and can not take the fifth. In a legislative appearance you must appear but at anytime you are allowed to take the fifth.

I think in this case, because she defended herself first as innocent in her opening statement and then pleaded the Fifth they will bring her back after the smaller fish are fried.

As these scandals go on, it's going to be interesting to see the Libs who
consider the Constitution as a living breathing document cling to
the Fifth Amendment.
Of course they will say that one is set in stone.

Geez, where is the other 1/2, sequestered with Joe.
This is no fun.
