“He may have waived the Fifth by failing to assert it the first time he refused to testify. .....”

Not according to the Miranda warnings. You can assert your rights at any time and stop answering any further questions.

But the Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination — not against

public condemnation

The 5th amendment ?

A little confused here; if Trump tried to “overturn the election,” wouldn’t that mean he was working to give the presidency to biden?

It’s rare when lawyers — as opposed to their clients — take the Fifth Amendment.

...Maybe because the lawyers are currently being the ones directly targeted? Usually the investigations don't go after the lawyers like these guys are.

Is this the same Norm Eisen who masterminded the whole election strategy with Podesta? That reminds me of when they put Lisa Page on MSNBC as a commentator.

They’d have a legitimate fear of a biased DC jury pool whose members would convict any Republican in front of them regardless of facts and truth.

The Left is unhinged.
