(7,475 posts)Invoke the 5th. Automatic thoughts of "guilty". Good grief, how long will this last. I'm exhausted trying to follow all of the tRump crap.
So glad to hear of some action against this evil man. Get it done!

(269,428 posts)As Trump's own remarks have made plain, any effort to elude Mueller, including by pleading the Fifth, could have political repercussions. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment," Trump said as a candidate in 2016, complaining about aides to his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, who faced inquires over the use of a private email service when she was secretary of state.
"The mob takes the Fifth," Trump declared.

"Under the advice of my counsel and for all of the above reasons, I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution," Trump said in a statement.
Trump was to be deposed by lawyers from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office as part of a more than three-year civil investigation into whether the Trump Organization misled lenders, insurers and tax authorities by providing them misleading financial statements.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier Wednesday morning that he would be "seeing" James "for a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history! My great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides. Banana Republic!"
