      Lerner appears to have waived her 5th Amendment protection by providing an opening statement at @GOPoversight hearing on #IRS.

      How 5th Amendment waiver applies in context of congressional hearing is not clear, though. Lerner is not a criminal defendant in a court.

          @repjustinamash By that logic, she shouldn't be entitled to invoke 5th Am. in the first place. The rules either apply or the don't.

          @repjustinamash You think she can be compelled to incriminate herself before Congress? Couldn't that later be used against her in court?

          @repjustinamash doesn't matter; she can still refuse if she perceives her testimony as likely to lead to prosecution. (not a lawyer).

          .@repjustinamash Innocent misstatement can trigger a perjury charge. Argument should be whether she should be removed from office, not 5th.

          @repjustinamash Her only real criminal exposure at this time: lying to Congress. Waiver allows negative inference to be drawn from silence.
