Well now that they are pardoned Congress can hold hearings on say, the origin of the coronavirus, and one evil little gnome can’t plead the 5th.
Of course I’m quite certain there would be other countries who would just love to get their hands on him...
“Of course I’m quite certain there would be other countries who would just love to get their hands on him...”
The Fifth Amendment states “…nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…”
I don’t see anything in the Fifth that that prevents you from using it if what you say can be used in the criminal proceeding of a US State or of another country.
How often do we hear “Anything you say can and will be used against you.”
“I’m quite certain there would be other countries who would just love to get their hands on him.”
Good point.
