Could it be that Lerner finally negotiates an immunity deal then goes before Congress and takes the fall for the Administration?

I don't believe she could pull that off.  To articulate a story that she was the mastermind of this targeting of conservative groups would be extremely difficult if the Republican members on the committee do their job.  But then, if they were doing their jobs, they would hold her in contempt of Congress and put her butt in jail if she failed to testify.

Not sure what avenues they have to get her story, but, no doubt, we need the story.  Who was it during Watergate that received some immunity and then spilled the beans?  Seems to me the Lois is that person for this story.  Surely there is a way to extract her testimony, but it may not come short of immunity.  That is ashame.

Col Oliver North dived on his sword over the Iran Contra affair. Later he was exonerated. He had not actually committed any crime. (What would have happened if... during our Revolutionary War... the French government had changed parties in power and suddenly withheld support for our patriots? Congress had done that to the Contras.)

If she managed the IRS political suppression, MZ Lerner on the other hand HAS committed a crime. If Democrats remain in power, she will get off. Me thinks she is not betting on Democrats remaining in power.

If she can connect the Pretender to the scheme… and does so… she will see the bottom side of a bus… maybe even lose her life. My hunch is that she’s already been warned… if not outright threatened.
