As usually the lie in post # 1 is so obvious it can't go without attention.
No one can take the 5th for someone else. No better example of TDS where the smear is the rule and the facts have no place in the propaganda. Stone can't take the 5th to protect Trump but only himself.
Is government not the Mob ? They operate more the same than different but there are some differences.
Government officials taking the 5th and a non gov. citizens does have its distinction. It may be in the rate of convictions but I haven't seen any studies on that. Just some notable examples of those in gov. who never went to jail. It could be said some were allowed to profit, from self-service not public service, by retiring with their pensions and other benefits.
Jeffrey Neely (who partied in a hot tub at a junket in Las Vegas), Lois Lerner (at the center of the IRS controversy over targeting of conservative groups), John Sepulveda (in trouble for organizing over-the-top VA conferences), Greg Roseman (who awarded a large contract to a company owned by a close friend) and Patrick Cunningham (a central figure in the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious operation) — these Obama administration officials all took the Fifth before Congress too.
“The mob takes the Fifth,” [Donald J. Trump] said at an Iowa campaign rally in September. “If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
trump now describes michael cohen as "weak" for testifying and roger stone "has guts" because he's pleading the fifth.
it amazes me that evangelical christians can still rationalize their absolute support of trump.
Donald Trump's previous comments on people pleading the fifth:
"If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
"The mob takes the Fifth,"
pleading the Fifth is “disgraceful.”
