No wonder he live-streamed a little tantrum after his meeting.

After invoking the Fifth Amendment and executive privilege more than 100 times to refuse to answer questions from the January 6th Committee on Tuesday, former White House aide Garrett Ziegler opened a livestream to vent his frustrations to his followers in a nearly 30-minute rant laden with white nationalist grievance on Telegram.
Ziegler complained that he has less resources to fight the committee than his older cohorts, including his boss former Trade Advisor Peter Navarro, who is suing the committee, and former White House strategist Steve Bannon, who is being prosecuted for contempt.
They can pay their attorneys to go to trial, Ziegler said. I had to be very smart and circumspect. My goal was to avoid a contempt of Congress charge
. Its going to be very, very hard for them to pass a contempt of Congress charge on me when Ive given them documents, and I flew out to DC and sat in front of them. If they have a problem with me, they have a problem with the f***ing Fifth Amendment.
Citing his decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination, Ziegler portrayed himself as a victim of left-wing persecution.

Garrett Ziegler, a former Trump WH aide, lost his mind after his interview with the @January6thCmte yesterday.
He accused the committee of being anti-white and referred to his female colleagues who spoke out against Trump as thots and hoes.
