3. Sounds dumb enough to be something he'd say.

2. "The mob takes the Fifth Amendment. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

6. Citing Trump as a kind of legal or moral authority ...

Sketchy, y'know?


He was wrong, of course. And those echoing him are.

7. Only idiots think he's an authority on anything.

4. Outside of the legalities ....

I always thought it was basically a way to simply refuse to answer any questions. Whether it be a screw you I'm not telling you anything or a lack of trust in the system.

5. Point of order: the tweet is from @HardlyRealTom.

Popehat is just tagged.

A good find, nonetheless.
