House Oversight Committee to Move to Hold Lois Lerner In Contempt

Hm.

The House Oversight Committee will vote next Thursday on whether to hold former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, sources say.

The vote, NRO is told, will take place next week.

In a prelude to next week’s vote, the Committee last month released a 141-page report making its case that Lerner’s testimony is critical to its investigation and that she has obstructed the panel’s work by providing it with inaccurate information. The report says that without Lerner’s testimony, “The committee will never be able to fully understand the IRS’s actions. Lerner has unique, firsthand knowledge of how and why” the IRS decided to scrutinize conservative applicants for tax exemption.
