.@joshtpm Don't think she'shypercautious. Congress wants heads to roll and there will be push to prosecute SOMEONE on any plausible basis.

@rickhasen Yeah, I understand the personal logic of her stance. But she shld not be in that role under circs -
.
@joshtpm If I were Lerner's personal lawyer I would absolutely urge her to take the 5th. Maybe Dems will offer immunity to testify? -
@rickhasen That seems a treacherous course for them. Wld think they'd want full committee buy in. -
.
@joshtpm agree. She's in a bind, and taking a sensible personal position but a politically untenable one. -
@rickhasen Yeah, seems like simple case where interests diverge. Her course may make sense. Just not consistent w/continuing in that job.
