Issa should have asked her questions like, "If you have not done anything wrong, why do you need to plead the fifth, which protects you from self-incrimination?"
He should have grilled her, and made her marinate in the fact that she is lying.
She says one of the basic functions of the fifth amendment is to protect innocent individuals.
Look, I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that is the purpose of asserting one's right not to incriminate oneself.
Having watched this now, I think Issa is showing himself to be incompetent.

Why did Issa dismiss Lerner instead of making her sit there and repeatedly invoke the Fifth to every question?
Issa should have asked her questions like, "If you have not done anything wrong, why do you need to plead the fifth, which protects you from self-incrimination?"
He should have grilled her, and made her marinate in the fact that she is lying.
