the democrats will defend and find a reason i may not like it, but he s my guy u. just like the republicans did with mark sanford. that s the way it works. hyper partisan environment. other p words every time. thanks, guys. the irs has found itself at the center of a controversy after it was found to be targeting certain organizations. this is tonight s outtake and the magazine ifnitude of the scs been debated and people on the left and right are looking for answers and angry at each other. lois lerner was invited to shed light on the subject it at a congressional hearing and here is how she chose to shed the light. while i very much like to answer the questions today, i have been advised to assert my constitutional right not to testify or answer questions related to the subject matter of this hearing. that was illuminating. yes, she pled the fifth. and we learned nothing. which is a shame and a bit of a surprise, especially sense just before that, lerner said, quote,
weren t attended to quickly. they language for a long time. that is going to get a hearing. was there sufficient candor when different people at the service reported to congress. that is a real problem. you are referring to lerner who is the director of the irs tax exempt division who we don t have confirmation of whether or not she will be testifying. everybody would like to get answers from her. as we get back to danny werfel he has this nonpartisan background in the bush and obama administrations. some republicans say he is not the right choice. some are calling him a white house insider. how can any commissioner in the way that d.c. is right now, this hyperpartisan environment truly function without being pinged
