There isn’t a lawyer in the world that would not properly instruct their client on the procedure for invoking the fifth. My heavens, she is an attorney herself. She had a prepared statement, which had to have been prepared or at least approved by her attorneys. This was stunning and to have proceeded without researching this issue would have been legal suicide.
