"Ron Machen Jr., the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said in the seven-page letter that federal prosecutors concluded Lerner did not waive her privilege because she made “only general claims of innocence” during the opening statement.

“Thus, the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution would provide Ms. Lerner with an absolute defense should be prosecuted … for her refusal to testify,” wrote Machen, who was appointed to the U.S. attorney post by President Obama and left for private practice Wednesday, one day after sending the letter."

Sooo....once again the teflon coating works! :mad: Notice the judge left for private practice one day after he handed this down.
 
Of course she won't be charged. Why would you charge a person who exhibited contempt for Congress with, you know, contempt? :mad::mad:
