I saw Lois on the news when I got home, huffily saying she didn’t do anything wrong, or break any laws, and taking the 5th and all I could think of was Nixon saying I am not a crook, and my parents howling with laughter at that...
Definitely NO legal expertise here, but is a “blanket” statement that you’re taking the 5th even permissible? I thought that Congressional Committee rules differed from a court of law, besides.
Remember when Bill Clinton would deny stuff by saying “I don’t think you’ll be able to find a single shred of evidence...”
At least he was artful.
Who takes the 5th if they didn’t do anything illegal?
