Immediate introduce policies by EO and then legislation that anyone asserting their 5th amendment privilege in the course of a congressional or legal investigation for activity being investigated as a person fulfilling duties requiring that of Public Trust shall be immediately removed said position and permanently disbarred for further positions of Public Trust. Furthermore all benefits and retirement provision shall be irreversibly revoked from all positions, including all previous positions of Public Trust.
The justification is simple, if you refuse to answer questions during your security clearance investigations, that is grounds for immediate disqualification for said Public Trust.
BUMP!
Very good post. Accurate and sorely needed.Anyone in a public Gov position should be required to reveal all information from thier job unless it is Classified. Right now it is a license to commit crimes and provide a free pass. Rights to the 5th should not include Gov entities. They are separate.
Excellent!
