You don’t have to explicitly waive it. if you answer a single question or make a single statement other than taking the fifth, you’ve waived it. a trick is to ask multiple questilns and throw one in like, “do you live in texas.” If the person answers, they have waived their right.

That’s what happened. She read her statement, envoked the 5th and THEN answered Issa’s question about a document.

To the extent feasible and legal, we need conservative commentators and GOP congressional staff to do a much better job of telling us what the Hell is going on as these developments occur.

The Left uses this megaphone like a symphony. We are an impoverished underground and end up bitching at each other.

"a trick is to ask multiple questilns and throw one in like, “do you live in texas.” If the person answers, they have waived their right."

That's bull. I'm not saying there aren't courts acting like that, but our constitutional rights should not be able to be implicitly waived through that kind of trickery.

That's just wrong on the face of it, and we should throw judges and prosecutors that resort to such tactics in jail for violating peoples rights.
