Could you "take the Fifth" on questions from your boss and keep your job?

I'm pretty sure, I wouldn't be able to pull that off. How is it government officials can do so?

to be fair, she retired last year. Why she wasn't fired before the retired I have no clue... actually I do. Govt is not for the people.

Oh, crap. Still, the first time she did it, she kept her job and was able to "retire" with full benefits, I presume.

The government sometimes gets to act like the state and sometimes gets to act like an employer. When there are possible criminal ramifications, they are almost always going to be treated like the state.
Lerner had a right not to testify, but waived it by offering exculpatory statements without submitting to a cross.

indict her, even if she wins legal fees alone will cost her 2-3 years of her pension

If you are a Mafia Soldier and your boss is the Godfather, then, yes.

If I were a Republican member of Congress I would propose legislation that any federal employee, or ex-employee, found in contempt of Congress should be deemed to have zero years of employment for purposes of determining benefits. Failing to cooperate with Congress performing its oversight functions must have consequences for government employees.

Only if I was doing it to protect my boss.

It depends if any info can be used criminally.
In an administrative investigation you cannot refuse to answer questions, but none of the info found out in the administrative investigation can be used in a criminal case.

My boss can't put me in prison.

Can my employer compel me to answer those questions?

Outside of a small handful of exceptions, he can certainly hinge your continued employment on it.

Congress can't convict Lerner of a crime.

But her statement can be used in a criminal case. Criminal investigators can not be privileged to any info gathered in an administrative proceeding.
