Trump’s henchmen just love the 5th Amendment

[Bugsy McGurk]

They even take the 5th when asked how old they are, where they live, and the like…

Alex Jones got too stressed out to spell his own name, and more unintentional comedy from Jan. 6 committee witnesses.

Of course, Trump himself took the 5th almost 450 times…

Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG’s civil probe of his business practices

An attorney for Trump said the former president answered only one question, about his name, during the four-hour deposition.

And we all recall what Trump said about those who plead the 5th:


“You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

Another time, he said, “Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment. Horrible.”

It matters not to Trump cultists - they just love the guy.

I though only criminals take the 5th. Who was it that said that?

The Trump cabal did similar things when they tried to cover up their collusion during the Mueller investigation. Some Trump co-conspirators were even convicted of crimes for doing it, only to be pardoned by Trump. Baghdad Barr then corruptly refused to prosecute those who obstructed Justice. The Dems made a huge mistake when they didn’t impeach Trump for the obstruction of justice counts identified in the Mueller report. They emboldened Trump and his cronies to just do it again.

Yup.

Funny thing though..... how is it that all of those republican scumbags were convicted under Trump's AGs but under Milquetoast Merrick we see nothing? Could it be that I am right, that Milquetoast Merrick is a total failure and that Joe Biden is too weak to replace him with someone who knows how to do the job? Seems to me that Milky has abused the special prosecutor guidelines to cover his own ass. In every single other instance of a special procecutor investigating Presidential abuse the abuse being investigated was under a SITTING and not a FORMER President. If you use what Milky has done as a guideline all anyone being investigated has to do is declare that he is running for President. There is no precedence for a special prosecutor here - Milquetoast Merrick is running away from his job.

First, most prosecutions arising from the collusion investigation were undertaken by Mueller’s office - special counsel prosecutors. They were not pursued by “Trump’s AG’s.” Trump’s DOJ, under his flunky Baghdad Barr, refused to prosecute any of them.

Second, Garland has already replaced himself with a special counsel - no need for Biden to do it.

All of those scumbags were prosecuted by the Trump Justice Department. All of them.

Huh? Which scumbags? I think you’re confusing Mueller’s special counsel prosecutions with Barr’s prosecutions.

Jan. 6 report committee releases 34 transcripts of witnesses who pleaded the Fifth — POLITICO

The release comes ahead of the full committee report publication expected Thursday.

This includes Trump’s lawyers and his senior most political aides, like Roger Stone. Page after page of Trump cronies pleading the 5th so as not to incriminate themselves. A complete stonewalling.
