Pleading the Fifth

Post by Gunnar »

Jen Psaki Goes After Trump, Jan. 6 Witnesses For Leaning On 5th Amendment
As Psaki pointed out, even more telling than how often Trump's cronies pleaded the Fifth, was the questions to which they pleaded it. For example:
She noted that some witnesses were asked about the rule of law and whether it should be respected in the U.S. ― and they pleaded the Fifth in response.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

What did you think of Lois Lerner pleading the fifth?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

What does whatever Lois Lerner was alleged to have done have to do with attempting a coup to overthrow a democratically elected election based on demonstrably false claims of widespread election fraud? And what do you think of the disingenuous use of whataboutism to deflect from addressing any evidence of malfeasance on the part of whomever you think is on your side? Besides that, if Lois Lerner is actually guilty of breaking a law, whether she is a Democrat or liberal or not, I will not make any excuses for her, and is therefore irrelevant to the subject of my OP.

Even EAllusion admitted that it's foolish to talk with the FBI without your attorney present.

It has nothing to do with it. The mass pleading of the fifth amendment by the Trumpers is just one more organized action of their criminal enterprise. The Mafia did that all the time,

Exactly!
