For all the attorney FReepers out there, on what grounds can she claim the fifth, if not the part about self incrimination?

“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

Exactly, she cannot claim the Fifth to protect another person. She can only claim the Fifth to not incriminate herself.
