    Whether he claims he will invoke the 5th, I say let him. By all means do so, as it will seemingly tell America that you have something to hide. We need to press AG Sessions to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Fusion GPS and it's potential collusion with foreign nationals not registered with the Foreign Agents Registration Act. I think if Mr. Simpson had nothing to hide he would gladly volunteer to testify before Congress, his reluctance to do so speaks volumes regarding what's going on. It cries out for further investigation by the Department of Justice.

    You don't need a special council. The AG's office and justice dept can do this fine. You only need a special council if Trump is planning on butting in again or ordering underlings to fire the investigators. Don't you think Donald is likely to do that again?

    so he doesn't say anything, and the "Trump dossier" gets thrown in the trashbin of fake news, along with all the people who used it as news.

    It's a win-win.

    Hopefully yes. I hope he does just that, because that's how much I despise all the people who have been going on and on and on about russians.

    as for your special council, it is going nowhere, and even if he does find anything, it will go nowhere.

    which will result in even more lefty tears.

    Another win-win!!!!

    We just need the 'drip,drip drip' we don't need a conviction. Its already working Belch, just like all these investigations killed Hillary. You won't be shutting this down soon, there are enough tangents for years of distraction. People don't trust Trump. They will wonder if he is a Russian puppet whether there is a conviction or not.

    How does 'crooked Donald' sound as a re-election soundbite.

    The 5th? What crimes is he worried about being accused of?

    That drip-drip-drip is a fine way of putting a stop to him doing whatever he wants, which is fine with me. Obama got the same treatment, which is why he eventually resorted to his pen and phone.

    I'm just hoping that Trump will realize that this goes with the job, so just do what he can and ignore the background noise.

    Anybody who talks to the cops is a damn fool, and this goes for congress as well.

    You obviously have no clue about why the fifth amendment is where it is, nor do you know why people evoke it, and should always evoke it.

    This lecture to law students might come in handy one of these days.

    Thanks for admitting the left is full of **** and really only care about their power. In the end the left will look like a bunch of conspiratorial fools.
