Joe DiGenova has advice for all 81 targets of House Dems’ ‘fishing expedition’ on Trump: ‘Everyone should take the 5th…’
BizPac Review, Mar 5, 2019

Appearing on “The Story,” where host Martha MacCallum reminded viewers that the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee “uses language to remind everyone this is the committee that launched Watergate” and that “it’s clear” they are heading toward impeachment, DiGenova said those who received document requests should refuse to respond.

“This is a perjury trap,” DiGenova insisted. “It is not a legitimate investigation, it’s a fishing expedition. They are trying to get people up there to make them look bad so they can try to make the president look bad.”

“No one should talk to this committee,” he added. “Everyone should take the 5th and if everyone takes the 5th, the American people will understand that this isn’t a legitimate investigation. It’s political theater and disgraceful conduct approved of by the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

And make no mistake, President Trump is the ultimate target.

“This is a fraud, this investigation,” DiGenova said. “It’s designed to smear people as witnesses and it is designed to perjury trap them and make phony referrals to the Justice Department. This is all about dirtying up the president of the United States, who it has been proven thus far has done absolutely nothing wrong.”

Dershowitz: House Dems seem to be 'going too far' seeking dirt on Trump
Fox News, Mar 5, 2019

[...]

Dershowitz, also a retired Harvard law professor, said those subpoenaed could possibly sue.

“If you go back to the cases in the 1950s, the courts sometimes did say, ‘look, Congress, you’ve gone too far, this is not within your legitimate function,’” Dershowitz told Hannity. “So, if I were one of the people who got a letter or a subpoena, I would at least think about the possibility of bringing a lawsuit and suggesting that Congress is abusing its oversight function.”

Cowering with fear, as is their normal posture.

What fantastic advice, from a historical perspective.


Oct 21, 1974 - “I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it'll save it—save the plan,” Mr. Nixon said.

Always siding with the swamp.    

You'd prefer 81 people walk into a perjury trap and yak like a teenage girl.  We've got your number.

A number of them have spoken out against this.  What do you want them to do?

Personally speaking: I would like them to fight like hell - get out in front of the cameras every single day and remind Americans that Republicans are trying to do the jobs they were elected to do, while Democrats have no interest whatsoever in actually governing, but instead only want to destroy the President.

How about they meet with attorneys and stop this?  I imagine members of the House would have standing to get a judge put a hold on these "investigations" as beyond the scope of the House Judiciary's charter.

Something @Sanguine they need to do something.  I am sick to death of the damn "talk".  Why aren't you?

That I agree with.  And, unfortunately only a few Republicans are doing that.

Oh they ARE doing something!  They are doing everything they possibly can to preserve their precious swamp. THAT is job one regardless of the letter that happens to appear behind the name.

These are primarily private citizens being subpoenaed. Many will be bankrupted by legal fees, all because Jerrold Nadler (who has a history with Trump in New York) has a personal axe to grind.

I hope Trump and those subpoenaed resist demand for documents and sue the democrats in court. Take it all the way to the Supreme Court.

These two years have been quite an eye-opener.  I think in this arena the Republicans may be worse than the Democrats.  Democrats, by and large, have a goal, they are trying to change America to Amerika; most Republicans, especially in the Senate, are just trying to keep a job.

Yeah, that's it @Right_in_Virginia.  I'm not "sick of the damn "talk"".  And, I can see where you got that from my statement:  "That I agree with.  And, unfortunately only a few Republicans are doing that. "

What's your point?

[ABX]

In a nutshell, everyone (and that means everyone, top down) needs to clam up and shut up. No public statements, no tweeting, do not give an opening for anything. If a witness makes a big pre-testimony statement, they often can't take the fifth after that because they can be called to address the content of the statement. Witnesses often waive this right intentionally, by just answering the question, or unintentionally, by answering other questions that establish a basis on which they may be compelled to answer on the basis of rebuttal or further inquiry on the topic.

Shut up and clam up. Make the accusers prove their case, don't give them anything.

Won't happen. The place runs on dirt.
What they need to do is get better dirt.
