He said it over and over and over for the last number of years and that cannot now be stricken from the record. This isnā€™t George Orwell and we arenā€™t suddenly saying he never said itā€¦ (But Iā€™d love to hear of the justifications way this is now okay)

Hey AssHole, try reading President Trump's reason, at the top of this page, before you open your big fat NeverTrumper mouth!

President Trump's quote:

I once asked "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" Now I know the answer to that question. When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice. If there was any question in my mind, the raid of my home, Mar Lago, on Monday, by the FBI, just two days prior to this disposition, wiped out any uncertainty. I have absolutely no choice because the current Administration, and many prosecutors in this Country have lost all moral and ethical bounds of decency.

“Iā€™d more than fifth amendment. Iā€™d so some serious ā€œcanā€™t recallā€.”

You plead the 5th

or

You make statements

You do not do both, unless you’re Lois Lerner of course.

Outside of anything required by law, after multiple appeals, tell or give them NOTHING!

“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 isnā€™t George Orwell and we arenā€™t suddenly saying he never said itā€¦ (But Iā€™d love to hear of the justifications way this is now okay)”

Hi JapaneseInTokyo,

Why answer any questions if it’s not a criminal case or even a civil case - but a “civil investigation over his business” - per this Axios article.

I take it you have never been accused falsely of anything:
- under penalty of law;
- by international, corporate media in front of billions of people;
- but believe that the system of justice is all about truth.

I take it that:
- whatever set of values and principles you had at age 7 you have never been challenged by life experience making it unnecessary to modified or refine your position;
- if you had the choice between lying to escape or dying at the hands of madman, you would choose the latter because lying is always wrong;
- if your lawyer told you to take the 5th you would ignore advice of counsel;
- you form an opinion without reading Trump’s entire statement and ask a (fill in the blank) question which is answered in his statement because you are too (fill in the blank).

Have a nice evening.

I personal think this is hillarious, she wasted a year and countless dollars to drag Trump into a deposition, then he just walks in, pleads the fifth, and leaves.

Ms. James election and campaign statements demonstrate an intent to abuse her position to harass President Trump.

This isnā€™t how a lawful and civil society acts. This is low class, low IQ, hoodrat street thuggery.

Disturbing to see her campaigning and later, as AG. acting on a personal vendetta.

Her announcing she has nothing on Trump but is looking high and low for something......anything......is the height of stupidity.

Wise choice — he doesn’t want to end up with a conviction, as Roger Stone did.

But thatā€™s what he said guilty mob members do. Plead the 5th.

The Fifth Amendment is his right as an America. The Idea was to make Trump say something that they can use against him—Anything. They want to make him look like a Mafia Don. Its time to pony up to these Progressive CCP/Soros backed enemies of the Republic and push back. At this point they could come up with “Evidence” Trump is responsible for every foul thing in World history and I will not believe it.

They just ransaked his house, Why should he answer one question.

PS: DeSantis is being good boy and staying out until '28.

He’s complained already about the raid. So I guess you’re saying he’s afraid of saying it under oath? But again, he said only the guilty plead the 5th.
