They should all take the 5th ...

[dogtag]

McGahn and anyone else these would be Torquemadas want
to interrogate should plead the 5th. They'll be no stigma of
guilt because everyone knows it's just a bunch of fanatics
embarking on a fishing trip because they didn't get what they
wanted from the Muella report. They're like badly behaved
children who when they can't get what they want, they sit down
and scream. So, give them something to scream about - Nothing.

Trump could have legally fired Mueller whether or not McGahn or anybody else in the whole world agreed. In the real world you can be fired on a whim with no regress... and the Government is no different. Instead, Trump chose to disclose thousands of documents and information that has been historically called Executive Privilege. The McGhan BS is just more made up lies.

And now, it is coming out that Mueller investigated Trumps business activities over the past years and that included tax returns.

Can you imagine anything more infuriating to Nadler,
Cummings et al if everyone they called to testify, took
the 5th ?

They'd have a field day, claiming refusal to testify proves guilt.

[Allen]

They'd have a field day, claiming refusal to testify proves guilt.

Like Susan Rice?

So what ?

You've got a point -- or would have if voters were rational. But there are many useful idiots who can be swayed by sophistry.

Wonder how many "cases" each demo congressional critter has in their office? One usually takes the 5th if something to hide to protect oneself. Personally I would just sit there, arms crossed with a steely look on my face and say NOTHING, not a sound. Dead silence says much I found that out when inquiring of my clients in the regional jail when I went to see them. By not opening the conversation my clients unloaded on what was on their mind.

That's might be a better idea, but you could be held in contempt,
in which case taking the 5th might be an even better idea.

I have seen people held in contempt of court and jailed, always saying too much. If one says nothing how can one be in contempt?

Good question, "The right to remain silent " ?

Just what I mean, thanks for being this out further...funny I hadn't thought of it in just that way, very astute of you.

Maybe not that astute as I should thought of that instead of the 5th.
Og course that assumes The Right to remain Silent would apply in
a Congressional hearing.
Would Nadler have to give Miranda warning ?

"The right to remain silent" means you do not have to incriminate yourself. There are some questions that are not incriminating, such as "What is your name?"

And, if they grant you immunity, the right to remain silent goes away -- because the government guarantees you will not be prosecuted based on what you tell them. That's why the standard answer used to be, "I decline to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate or degrade me."

Can you refuse the offered immunity and remain silent ?
Maybe I was right to begin with - take the 5th.
