It’s like Jack Nicholson giving the speech in A Few Good Men and then trying to walk out of the court room.
pshaw! that's exactly what she did because that's exactly what they let her do! WTF?!?!?!?!
I understand the outrage about the scandal, but not about taking the 5th. These days there are so many cases of people who were very likely innocent, and certainly not even close to convicted of Federal charges, who eventually were convicted for violations of federal statues they’d never heard of, mixing up facts in their recollection of events during testimony, etc. I bet there is a good chance she is paying for her own legal counsel here, and is being advised that she has absolutely nothing to gain, and a whole life to lose by testifying if she is innocent. Think about it. I would not even consider testifying if I were innocent, unless given absolute immunity.
