"In her defense, claiming the fifth is not an admission of guilt and it is one of our treasured God given rights."

I agree, but I'm wondering how you can claim the fifth in order to not testify at all. I can see claiming the fifth in response to a specific question or questions, but not to avoid a subpoena.

I don’t think a lawyer would advise a partial 5th. The reason for the 5th in this case is likely to obtain immunity.

I believe that the official advisement that the 5th is going to be claimed is the expectation that those seeking her testimony will agree to immunity in advance. My guess is she has something of value that her attorney believes will result in an immunity deal.

However this plays out, this is not a good development for Obama.

Perception is reality and right or wrong... it will look like she is guilty... which she is.
