Trey Gowdy says the reason they expected Lois Lerner to testify is because that’s what her lawyer told them she would do. But apparently Lerner changed her mind after she heard Gowdy and Issa’s comments over the weekend and decided she would not testify. But Gowdy said if there was ever any expectation on her part that they were going to go easy on her, she was mistaken.
He said they can’t force her to talk, that they can only punish her for not talking. But clearly, from his statement at the end of the interview, Gowdy believes they can get her tot talk.
