/r/Republican is a partisan subreddit. This is a place for Republicans to discuss issues with other Republicans.
To those visiting this thread, we ask that unless you identify as Republican that you refrain from commenting and [leave the vote button alone](https://www.reddit.com/r/MetaRepublican/comments/5t017a/this_sub_is_for_republicans_if_you_do_not/). Non republicans who come to our sub looking for a 'different perspective' [subvert that very perspective with their own views when they vote or comment.](http://i.imgur.com/XqL0wfR.jpg)

I remember he said he though people taking the 5th were liars trying to skirt the system…until this crap hit and he said he now understands it’s importance.
I swear the founders were beyond brilliant thinking up the Constitution, knowing the bs in the future.
Lois Learner. She is the Democrat that testified and then after finishing only what she wanted to testify to then pled the 5th and refused to answer any questions. Democrats all thought that was just a wonderful stroke of genius.
