26. Invoking the 5th implies

Wed Dec 1, 2021, 08:44 PM

Dec 2021

he's afraid of incriminating himself in a crime. Time for Merrick Garland to investigate him. Clark and Meadows have no intention of testifying before the select committee, Meadows won't testify under oath, they both want to run out the clock, let's stop kidding ourselves.

The argument that it's appropriate for Clark to take the 5th insults my intelligence. Taking the 5th is what guilty people do. Hillary Clinton voluntarily testified, publicly, for 11 hours and never took the 5th. Eric Holder voluntarily testified 9 times over Fast and Furious and never took the 5th.

I'm tired of this catering to seditionists. I call them traitors because what they did fits the dictionary definition of a traitor.
