    Hunter isn’t a public official, same goes for Eric. If the Trumps did anything it occurred when he was a private citizen and didn’t have the power of being Vice President to make his entire family wealthy. Brandon’s only job has been in government making laws telling us what we must and must not do, and it was during that time Hunter made and snorted a fortune.

    Did you do the math? This claim is fake news. How, after 5 years of fake news running lie after lie after lie about Trump are you still falling for this marketing strategy? Are you hopelessly addicted to Trump?

    Should lying fake news being taking repeated advantage over folks who may be helpless addicts?

    Sorry, but I'd plead the fifth on even stupid **** if the Democrat Gestapo was after me. They aren't interested in upholding the law. They are interested in finding anything they can to destroy you.

    Hillary's IT guy took the 5th 125 times, in hearings regarding her storage of classified material on a basement internet connected server. Do you feel the same way about their guilt?

    No it means you have a high IQ and that you have an excellent lawyer. There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to not pleading the fifth.

    Giving your political enemies anything other than the 5th would make you clinically insane, retarded or hopelessly uninformed.

    Someone is investigating you for a crime, why the **** would you testify against yourself?

    Guilty or innocent, talking to the cops or the prosecution is a bad ****ing idea. They are not your friends, and there is no legal requirement that you open your yap.

    Now that is often true .. but in this case .. come on .. we are talking Carrot Top here .. made Slick Willy look not so slick - the "Art of the Deal"

    but, all sarcasm aside - Still a Kangaroo Clown Show on the Blue side .. roll near any in congress over and you are going to find some flies under the mattress ... or any person in general. This is a paux on our already failing system of Justice .. Domestic Spycraft being weaponized against Political Opponents .. Many times in the case of poor Donald and friends and associates and .. anyone who ever saw Trump from afar....

    Its cumn - soon Red will again be able to exert power - not that they will do much better -- but the demonic Blue Authoritarian Reign of terror must end.

    Did... can't do it... doesn't exist...

    I love it! Not only is Trump living in your heads rent free but you let his kids move in too.
    These Trumps sure are lucky! All that money and they get to live rent free.
    I'm jealous!

    Someone is trying to pin a crime on you: You're not required to help them do it by speaking to them if you don't want to. Full stop.
    This is because the Founder's knew of cases where there was no such right to not be compelled, and knew what resulted from it.

    - of course it exists. that you can not come up with one example earns you a fail on the 5th amendment test - a test which you should probably pass - prior to posting in a thread on the 5th.

    Think hard mate .. your asked a question about where you were the other night - they are trying to tie you to a bank robbery - you plead the 5th... are there no other reasons than being guilty for bank robbery - for making such a plea ?

    Time to put thinking cap on .. and complete your assignment .. gotta pass the test mate.. get you a gold star it will .. take home and show your mamma. what you learned on PF today...

    Not so. Talking can only work against you.

    Fake news. Did you do the math? He was asked questions, conferred with counsel and took the 5th, every 43 seconds, without a single break, for 5 hours straight? Total BS, never happened, it's made up, as any fool with a calculator can quickly determine.

    How can anyone still be falling for these kinds of lying clickbait stories, for five years straight?

    It looks to me like some folks on the Left are addicted to, and completely obsessed with Trump. Sad!

    The 5th exists to prevent a witness from incriminating himself.

    There's only one possible conclusion when used 500 times in an interrogation.

    If the 5th amendment could be considered an admission of guilt, what good is it? Invoking the 5th is for innocent people too.
