Practically speaking, an innocent person choose to plead the 5th because they might not want to look guilty or even more guilty (they are innocent but most evidence points at them committing a crime).

Hopefully they all smart to plea the 5th!

Who hasn’t lost their trust in the FBI top (not all FBI agents, just the former top of FBI) and how they target conservatives and make up stories to get people.

Don't forget what Trump said: If you plead the 5th, you're guilty!

Except we all know Trump doesn't hold himself to any standard he holds anyone else. He calls Sen. Cruz Lying Ted but he has lied more so than Cruz and called Hillary Clinton Crooked Hillary, though he may soon be found to be more crooked than anyone ever imagine Hillary was.

"I hope they plead the Fifth" is the new "it's just a perjury trap" defense. Both operate under the theory that the person is guilty.

The only problem with that scenario is that the HJC is going to already have documents in hand that will put these people in the situation under discussion. Out of 81 people and entities, there will be occasions where more than one of them is involved in the same situation. If one of them fingers the other, who has already said "I don't remember", they will have no recourse against the accusation. There are also requests for documents that will either support or refute what they already have.

There are other reasons that won't work, but no reason to elaborate. You can certainly imagine them yourself.

If they are not guilty they have nothing to worry about. So you must be thinking they are guilty. You condone criminal activity?

Great idea. Step One: You get asked, you refuse. Step Two: You get subpoenaed, you ignore. Step Three: You sit in jail until you decide to cooperate.

It's amazing what powdered eggs and fried bologna will do to jog the memory and adjust your thinking.

Are you now saying they are all guilty? Quite an admission from you Bentlebee.

One would hope they would man up and admit to their crimes, but you want them to hide like children behind their mother's skirts, for what purpose?

Weren't you once an advocate for cleaning up the swamp? What happened to you?!?
