You cannot be held in contempt for exercising your 5th amendment rights! Period!
A judge cannot even force a person indicted of a crime to testify. and here you are saying a summons has more power than an indictment? that is ridiculous.!
You have to appear if you are subpoenaed. You may assert your 5th Amendment right to not testify against yourself, but if you ignore the subpoena a judge can issue a warrant for your arrest.
Common peasants don't know their rights. They are intimidated greatly, by their ignorance of freedom and liberty. They concede their rights to the courts, upon intimidation and coercion. Ignorance or cowards?
And neither do you.
You might be very surprised to learn what your legal rights actually are.
I was involved in a situation many years ago and found out very quickly that the kind of mishmash you are spouting means exactly nothing.
No it is not, but all of the stuff around it is. Conspiracy to commit computer crimes for example. Conspiracy covers a ton of things around collusion when the person or country you collude with commit a crime.
But again...not the topic here. Why the non stop attempts to derail it?
So, was this guy handed an indictment, a warrant or a summons?
Thats not the topic Bentbow. Read more of the responses. Everyone agrees he can plead the 5th.
What he cant do is refuse to respond at all.
Im done arguing with you. You're simply refusing to discuss reality or facts here.
Really, Maybe you lost what the topic was.

Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg said Monday that he has been subpoenaed to appear in front of a federal grand jury investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election but that he will refuse to go.
Nunberg said he does not plan to comply with the subpoena, including either providing testimony or documents.

...Unless this guy is bluffing it looks like we might have our first jail bird shortly. He can go willingly or involuntarily, it’s up to him. I have a feeling he’ll change his tune.

Nope. You have to appear if there is a warrant to appear before the judge. A subpoena is a request. There is no accusation of crime.
I certainly don't answer to anyone.
They can't force you unless you have been accused of a crime.
A former aide to President Trump’s campaign sent Washington into a frenzy on Monday by announcing he would defy a special counsel subpoena in a series of bizarre interviews on cable television.
The networks scrambled to book Nunberg following that bombshell declaration, allowing him to call in remotely and ramble for large blocks of time in which he contradicted himself, insulted various former colleagues and White House officials, asked two anchors for legal advice and called Mueller a “moron.”

Nixon White House counsel John Dean uncharitably diagnosed the onetime adviser.
“BAT-SH*T CRAZY is the best medical description for his behavior,” the former White House lawyer tweeted in the midst of Nunberg’s several phone and in-person interviews Monday afternoon.
“He can take the 5th Amendment. But he can’t tell the [Grand] Jury to get lost,” he continued. “He’s going to lose this fight.”
