In a Friday morning vote, the House Oversight Committee approved a resolution finding that IRS official Lois “Math is hard” Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment right at a May hearing when she delivered an opening statement. It was a party-line vote.
The Committee vote means very little. Lerner remains under a subpoena and could be recalled to testify. #fnr

@debitking It doesn't make anything "official." The Committee could have recalled her either way and hasn't said if they will.

Lois Lerner lesson: take the Fifth Amendment, then stop talking. Life lesson: Don't break the law.
