Lerner plead the 5th on the advice of her attorney and it was the right thing to do because she screwed up and didn't do her job properly, so she is correctly covering her ass. You'd do the same in her situation. If you had an iota of intelligence that is.
Lastly, again you don't have to prove that it wasn't a scandal. You have to prove that it was. And the supposed scandal was that this was a direct result of white house involvement. So far, NOTHING has come to light to indicate this in any way shape or form.
So you were wrong then and you're wrong now. The "supposed" scandal as you put it was NOT that it was a result of White House involvement, it was that it happened, intentionally, AT ALL.
Lerner is a dedicated left wing hack, and was, perhaps operating on her own. BUT, it is becoming quite apparent that there were any number of people involved in this as well, simply look at the e-mail.
zerO himself was "outraged". Until someone whispered in his ear, then it became a "phony scandal". Which clearly it is not. It was as real then as it is now, as this continues. It went pretty high up the food chain as Lerner is one of only TWO political appointees in these positions in the IRS, if I recall correctly.
This is the targeting of political opponents by the IRS and was one of the charges prepared for the possible impeachment of Nixon, except that was only the
allegation of targeting opponents, this in fact happened.
It isn't going away. No matter how hard you wish it would.
