If you are granted immunity, then you must testify. And, Congress has the power to grant immunity. Absent a grant of immunity, an individual has the right to assert the fifth amendment.

Oh, yes you can. Unless you are granted immunity. Which Holder will not grant because he wants Petraeus to shut up.
