[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly considering how incompetent Congress has been since the rise of the Tea Party and how partisan and extreme they've gotten, you cannot trust Congress not to twist and contort anything said into an accusation for political purposes.  Both sides will use any and every tool at their disposal to skewer the other side and so no one is safe talking to Congress.  There is no longer a safe way to talk with a Congressional committee on any hot topic.

I'm not excusing Lerner as I think she was extremely culpable in the scandal, both from the standpoint that she should have done more and that she should have escalated the situation to the attention of leadership, but there is no way that she could ever talk to this Congress.  Perhaps a lawyer can advise her in ways to cooperate if not dealing with Congress, but we need to have a major housecleaning of the sitting Congress because the extreme sides and friction from both sides of the aisle is completely counter-productive and Congress has turned into a gridlocked joke.[/quote]

You seem to be saying that oversight of the Administration should be limited to the Senate, for obvious reasons.  And the House is only good for witch-hunting.

Seriously, try channeling Chuck Schumer when the last president dismissed a few of his US Attornies and ask yourself why the Commander in Chief doesn't have the right to sack his own political appointees as he chooses.[/quote]
