>> “Can he exercise his Fifth Amendment right in such a case since it is not the State that is pursuing the case?” <<

Of course! His answers will be on the court record.

Well, it worked for Louis Lerner when she was Testifying before Congress, even after she goofed up making an Opening Statement that voided her Right to Self Incrimination.

But hey, she was a Democrat receiving a Government Salary while discriminating against those she disagrees with Politically. Apparently that’s to be expected nowadays.

The prosecutor kind of did Cohen a favor when he raided his office. He basically gave him the legal cover to plead the Fifth Amendment for the rest of his life. LOL.

And since Mueller conned the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York into getting the bogus warrant. Mueller has no civil immunity as a complaining witness in a civil rights lawsuit. If the U.S. Attorney for the SDNY signed the affidavit for the warrant or complaint, he may have a huge liability, too.

And if a judge in a civil matter orders him to testify, it can be used in a criminal proceeding. Oliver North’s attorney figured that out.

Plead da Fif

v. To decline to give self-incriminating information. Refers to the fifth amendment of the US Constitution, which states that no citizen “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself...”

You cannot “defame” a whoring slut, who spreads her legs at the drop of a hat.

You can’t plead the fifth in a civil suit.
