That’s a fact. If you want to invoke, remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you, like saying you didn’t do anything illegal.
That’s testimony, and you can’t have it both ways.
I’m sort of amazed Issa had this planned, or was savvy enough to get this done.
Now, from here, she will have to listen to questions, and she can waive each time she wants to invoke.
If the questions are reasonable, it’s not going to play well on national TV for her to invoke before Congress. She hasn’t even been charged with anything yet, and she’s invoking.
Not good, since there’s no jury but the one of public opinion involved here.
The instant she said ,”I haven’t done anything wrong,” she opened the door to cross examination on that very point. That means she waived the privilege.
