Trump takes the 5th 400 times...

[BWK]

“You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
-Trump


Trump said it best only the guilty need to take the 5th.
Trump took the 5th 400 times in his recent disposition for fraud because he is guilty and he has no response. He has no excuse that will hold up under penalty of perjury, and he is 100% guilty.
This disposition is serious stuff and he can't tell lies like at his rallies or he gets charged with perjury, so his only option is to take the 5th, like a mob criminal.

Just wait, that number is going to go up.

Feel free to link us up to my post saying that, or admit you are a liar.

I never claimed you personally said it. You're nobody. So who would care?

But Trump, the defacto leader of the GOP and Whiner in Chief definitely said both.

My prediction is that Alvin Bragg will be issuing indictments soon for campaign finance violations.

You should watch the video. "Mr. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right while openly questioning the legitimacy of the legal process — as he has with the nation’s electoral system — and insulting a law enforcement official sitting just a few feet away."

The former president declined to answer questions from the office of the New York State attorney general, Letitia James, who leads one of a number of inquiries swirling around him.

You insinuated he said it.

What's not legit?

You responded to MY post and said “Aren’t you…”, so you did include me.

So it’s settled, you are a liar.

 

[BWK]

Trump exercises his 5th amendment rights while flipping Dems the bird, good job Trump!

So, you support criminals. That says more about you than him.

 

[BWK]

It's his right. But in a civil case it can be used against him.

I'm not sure why they think that helps Trump?

Since when is it a crime to plead the fifth?

 

[BWK]

/——/ Hillary still has the record for “I DON’T RECALL.”

Hillary isn't in the hot seat.

 

[BWK]

Since when is it a crime to plead the fifth?

It's not. But Trump left himself out their naked to be skinned alive now.

Trump like a boss.

He started by reading a statement into the record, explaining why he would refuse to answer any questions.

And then, that's exactly what he did. Here is his statement, followed by the harrassment which should have ended once he made the statement...

The Constitution is a wonderful thing. It allows one to speak freely, or to remain silent and not speak at all. This was a perfect example of where the latter was in order.

"Yeah, in criminal trials taking the 5th carries no negative inference (or shouldn't). But in civil trials.......it absolutely does. Its called 'Adverse Inference"

OK, that sounds plausible.
I'm not informed enough about "the 5th" in criminal nor civil situations, so will rely on credible posters such as avataree, Skylar; however....... there is more nuance, more portent, than just court trials.

There is the 'politics' prism, a hardball prism, that these 400 '5th' claims can be viewed through. Will be viewed through.

OK, let's say you are a firm putting out oppo ads on radio/TV/social media. Oppo ads against Republicans. Against the Presidential candidate.....DTrump.

Would you cut & past those video clips, those audio snips? Would the Lincoln Project?

You are friggin'-A right you --and they --- would will.

We will see more of those "5th clips".....a lot more.

Betcha.

 

[BWK]

You mean after he told them what he thought of the District Attorney, he refused to answer any of their questions? Good for him

How is it good for him, when Trump spends so much time in court? If I spent as much time in court as he has, being fined, sued, going to be indicted, that's almost like being in prison already.

And he left himself to the wolves to pick his bones, 5 ways from Sunday.

By the way, Trump the boss = Trump the mob boss. Folks like that who you idle, do nothing good for a country. They just leach.

Riiiiiight. And Trump couldn't question the legitimacy of the legal process at that deposition then answer the questions, why? Trump took the 5th because:

He's a liar who would perjur himself.
He's guilty.
His lawyers told him to take the 5th because they know he's guilty, he would run his mouth & incriminate himself & he's an idiot who doesn't know enough to shut the fuck up.

Wait till the jurors see that vid. And they will.

Do you support criminals?

Nope, I don't support Biden, his son Hunter, or any Democrat politician.

he did indeed exercise his 5th amendment rights - but alas there may be a bigley price to pay for doing so.


you see, this is a civil case & in a civil case - taking the fifth can be used against you at trial. it will be brought up & will be explained to the jury that it shirley is an inference of guilt.
