Even former prosecutor and lead impeachment counsel Daniel Goldman tweeted something that is just plain wrong.

Many people in this country are large piles of lying excrement.

Daniel Goldman is one of these piles.

Well, that NY Grand Jury Summons was a perfect way to make sure he wasn’t in Florida, ah?

Donald Trump said he understands now why innocent people might not want to cooperate with prosecutors or why they would take the fifth.

The scumbag Comey did the same thing. He went after Martha Stewart as his “claim to fame.”

Not only is “justice” political, it’s also full of grandstanding.

If only guilty people are expected to take the Fifth, it wouldn’t be protecting then from self-incriminating.

It brings a smile to my face that he did!

The fact that Trump would plead the 5th, is precisely why the 5th exists.

"The Fifth Amendment ensures that people are not forced to incriminate themselves."

or more accurately...

The Fifth Amendment ensures people out to destroy you can not force you to speak.

Or...

The Fifth Amendment ensures that the government must prove its charges against you independent of you.

There are cases where innocent people plead the 5th, but they’re rare. You and I know Trump is not guilty, of course, but the low-information voters out there will see this and think Trump has something to hide.

“I once asked ‘if you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’ Now I know the answer to that question,” Trump said in a statement. “When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice.”
Mic drop!

Trump was totally right to take the fifth. No way he’s going to get a fair hearing with these commies in charge.

I didn’t realize that Comey was the one behind the Martha Stewart witch-hunt.

The unrestraint abuse of power by Democrats belies the enormous threat that Trump represents to their evil plans.
