Can she take the fifth if she is sued in civil court? You can find out a lot more in a civil proceeding than a criminal.

[Uncle Miltie]

She deprived thousands of people their First Amendment rights of Speech and Association.

They are suing.

Drag this b*tch through courts for the rest of her life.

I don't think you can "take the 5th" in a civil court because there's no prospect of a *criminal* conviction.I think you can refuse to testify but doing so,at the very least,places your chances of victory at risk.and if you're found to have *perjured* yourself in a civil proceeding...well,just refer to Jones v Clinton.

No. The 5th ONLY applies to criminal charges. It has no bearing at all in civil cases.

[Mr. K]

She screwed up by giving sworn testimony of her innocence THEN trying to claim the Fifth.

Apparently you cannot give your version and then clam up- you have to allow cross examination.
