Fred Thompson opines that Lois Lerner has waived her 5th Amendment privilege.
"As best I can remember, there is no case on point involving a congressional hearing."Although court cases, both criminal and civil, are applicable, though somewhat different standards are applied, the general rule as to waiver is [the same]. Even in the court decisions, however, there is probably no case on point. As I stated, people simply don’t usually get themselves in this position. Also, the cases are very fact-specific.
