I’d more than fifth amendment. I’d so some serious “can’t recall”.

Q: Is this the part in the story when we play the tapes of the former President repeatedly saying in speech and in interviews that only people who plead the Fifth Amendment are guilty and are simply hiding the truth? He said it over and over and over for the last number of years and that cannot now be stricken from the record. This isn’t George Orwell and we aren’t suddenly saying he never said it… (But I’d love to hear of the justifications way this is now okay)

Good for him. He should not utter a sound. They will construe it as Lying to the Federal Government and prosecute as such.

Thanks for the copy. He should have just said “I don’t recall” or better yet…something akin to “What difference does it make?”

I’m glad he did this. It’s time to stop being on the defense.

When you ‘take the 5th’, you can’t even answer the question “What is your name?”. You cannot say anything other than “Upon the advice of my attorney................ ...................

Deposition is another word for perjury trap. The rats/msm have their talking point. Trump took the 5th bla bla f-em.

The IRS agents who targeted Patriots and Patriots movements all pleaded the 5th.

Then they got their pensions and the Democrats all thought it was great. I wonder what the Democrats and media will say now.....

Perfect answer. Recall Ms. James election and campaign statements demonstrating an intent to abuse her position to harass President Trump. Disturbing to see her campaign and later as AG act on a personal vendetta. She should be impeached, disbarred and subject to civil action by President Trump.

Her job isn’t lawfare. This isn’t how a lawful and civil society acts. This is low class, low IQ, hoodrat street thuggery.

FBI TOOK his personal phone day after raid just in time for today’s hearing. Not a coincidence.

I don’t understand how it is legal for FBI AGENTS to deny witnesses, lawyers not to witness what they are doing, taking and searching.

Taking the fifth in a civil case can be used against you. But in this case, since the FBI showed their hand that they are pursuing a criminal case, Trump should be able to use that as a mitigating factor, since anything he said in the civil case would be used against him in the criminal case.

A: He was utterly wrong then. He probably had some antiquated view of how our institutions work and who runs them. Many such cases. Very sad.
