Another top Biden advisor refused to testify on Joe Biden’s health decline.
Senior Joe Biden advisor Annie Tomasini pleaded the Fifth Amendment and did not answer any questions.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and the autopen scandal.
Comer demanded testimony from former Dr. Kevin O’Connor and four former aides related to the Biden health scandal.
Chairman Comer had demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams.
Annie Tomasini didn’t say a word to reporters as she walked into her deposition.
WATCH:
Comer fumed after a third witness in his investigation pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.
Comer’s full statement:
The third witness in our investigation into the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions pleaded the Fifth Amendment today. There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy.
Annie Tomasini, former Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations, pleaded the Fifth when asked if Joe Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time. She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised President Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if President Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified material found at President Biden’s home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden family’s ‘business’ dealings.
It’s unbelievable that Ms. Tomasini and others refuse to answer basic questions about President Biden’s fitness to serve. It’s apparent they would rather hide key information to protect themselves and Joe Biden than be truthful with the American people about this historic scandal. There needs to be transparency and accountability, and we will continue to pursue the truth and examine options to get the answers we need.
On Wednesday, Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ Anthony Bernal pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer a single question on Joe Biden’s health decline.
Last week Joe Biden’s physician Dr. O’Connor refused to testify before the Oversight Committee and pleaded the 5th Amendment.
What did he 5hink was going to happen?
Democrats always march in lock-step.
They’re a criminal organization.
Grant immunity to the first person who comes forward only? Let them decide. Have a feeling Comer will continue to do this until it affects midterms.
100% admissions of guilt.
Scumbag traitors who put power and party over the nation.
Arrest him!
“Democrats always march in lock-step.”
They know what’ll happen if they buck.
The Fifth Amendment was written with the far-left DemonRATS in mind. They are all guilty as hell of doing something. They should take their oath automatically using the Fifth Amendment. Crooks.
OMERTA.....
I hope he parades as many of these scumbags up there as possible. The more they plead the 5th, the worse it looks for all of them.
He should refer them to the DOJ on criminal conspiracy charges.
When are they going to offer some of the small fish immunity?
With this many people fearing prosecution, there must be something there to prosecute. Impanel a grand jury and grant transactional immunity to the doctor. He would then no longer be able to plead the 5th. He could be held in criminal contempt if he still refused to testify or prosecuted for perjury if he lied. Then offer immunity for any lower level staffers who would be willing to testify.
Grant them immunity. It only takes 2 witness for a conviction in a treason case, and all we are really after is to prove the autopen-signed actions are fraudulent, illegal, and therefore invalid.
> Arrest him! <
Arrest for what? Unless these people perjured themselves in previous testimony, I don’t see any crimes here. Moral crimes, yes. Actual crimes, no.
I’d much prefer that at least some of these bums be given immunity. Then the 5A won’t apply. Force them to tell the country just how bad Biden’s mental decline was, and how completely it was covered up.
Get it all on the record.
Once you have a baker’s dozen or more of lower level suspects that are guilty of something, but not big crimes, then you can offer selected ones immunity for state’s evidence.
Once you attain three or more you can stop and head for the Grand Jury Room...............
At least today’s Republicans are not allowing these Biden administration officials have their lawyers send a letter saying that they are going to plead the fifth. That is what happened during the Chinese funny money investigations of the Clinton administration. The stupid (colluding) Republicans did not even bother to get Videos of all those fraudulent Dem donors pleading the fifth.
Let's see.....prison..... or Fort Marcy Park......
It’s too bad all the Epstein stuff is eating up the news cycle. This is a major scandal that will not get nearly the attention it needs right now.
“”nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.””
The 5th doesn’t apply to any of those witnesses...they are not being asked to testify against themselves for anything criminal UNLESS - so go ahead and charge them with something criminal. It’s simple to us simple folk!
They can be held indefinitely for contempt of court. The J 6ers were held for years for less. THROW THEM IN JAIL.
