Lois Lerner is the IRS' director of tax exempt organizations division. She has been on the hotseat for the recently erupted scandal wherein the IRS targeted conservative groups.
Ms. Lerner apparently is not aware that when you lie, you need to keep your stories straight. She has been given Four Pinocchios by the Washington Post "Fact Check" website.
When finally questioned under oath about the problems in the IRS, Ms. Lerner stated she had "done nothing wrong", but then immediately took the 5th Amendment in response to further questioning...curious, isn't it?
Maybe she didn't do anything wrong... if so, what need is there for her to take the 5th? A plausible explanation, assuming she didn't do anything wrong, is that she knows things that would implicate others in wrongdoing, and is trying to protect them. If so, I doubt she is doing it out of the goodness of her heart--self-preservation is more likely the motive...
