RUSH: We had breaking news at the end of yesterday\u2019s big broadcast that Darrell Issa, after having consulted with legal counsel, said that he was going to recall Lois Lerner <\/a>before his committee. <\/p>\n

As you know, she showed up yesterday and said, (impression), “I didn\u2019t do it! I didn\u2019t do it! Nobody saw me do anything. You can\u2019t prove anything! I didn\u2019t do it, had nothing to do with it,” and then refused to say anything more under questioning, invoking her Fifth Amendment. At which point, Trey Gowdy<\/a> of South Carolina said, “You can\u2019t do that. You can\u2019t show up here and issue your denials and make a statement and then shut it down. That isn\u2019t what the Fifth Amendment is for.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No less a legal mind than Professor Dershowitz at Harvard agrees. You can\u2019t use the Fifth Amendment that way. So the latest we had at the end of the program yesterday was that Issa was going to recall her, but he hasn\u2019t yet. I looked, I tried to find the latest bit of news on this before the program. As far as I\u2019ve been able to tell, Darrell Issa has not called Lois “Stonewall” Lerner back to his committee to testify. We mentioned yesterday that this woman really, really had it out for the Christian Coalition back in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

I mean, the only way to describe it is “hatred.” Under the direction of Lois “Stonewall” Lerner, the Federal Election Commission (that\u2019s where she worked in the nineties) sued the Christian Coalition. She harassed them for three election cycles. She lost the case. She even asked one conservative during the case if Pat Robertson prayed over him. I mentioned this yesterday. It was Ollie North. She wanted to know, “What did Robertson pray over you? What did he say?”<\/p>\n

North said, “What the hell is this? That has nothing to do with anything here,” but she was hell-bent on finding out. She\u2019s got Christianity and Christians on the brain here, folks. There\u2019s no other way to say it: She\u2019s got a hatred. Anyway, that performance led to her being promoted to the IRS, where she used the same kind of behavior in hassling and delaying the tax-exempt authorizations for Tea Party groups, including pro-life and conservative 501(c)(3)s, the various tax-exempt statuses.<\/p>\n

Five hundred conservative and Christian groups were illegally targeted by the Obama IRS during her tenure. Of course, she doesn\u2019t know anything about it. She didn\u2019t do anything wrong. Obama doesn\u2019t know anything about it.<\/a> Jay Carney said Obama doesn\u2019t know anything about it; it\u2019s a good thing Obama doesn\u2019t know. Nobody knows anything about it. Well, Trey Gowdy just took this Shulman guy apart, Douglas Shulman, yesterday on all of this. In fact, let\u2019s grab those sound bites.<\/p>\n

Trey Gowdy is the guy who stood up yesterday and said to Lois “Stonewall” Lerner, “You can\u2019t do that. Mr. Chairman, she can\u2019t just come in here and invoke the Fifth Amendment after testifying,” and he was right. There was even a smattering of applause in the room. So, later yesterday, Gowdy, during the House Oversight Government Reform Committee hearing on the IRS scandal, was talking and interviewing and questioning Douglas Shulman, the former IRS commissioner.<\/p>\n

We have three sound bites here, and here\u2019s the first…<\/p>\n
