Speaking of Georgia... Fake Trump electors ask judge to disqualify Atlanta DA from election probe https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/16/politics/fake-electors-georgia-fulton-county-fani-willis/index.html We will see how this works out for them.
With the exception of the SCOTUS and the recent FL ruling on "non-mature enough for abortion but mature enough as a child to raise a child", the judiciary has played a pivotal role in stemming the tide of bullshit. Facts matter.
It weighs and sways who in one direction? the media? trump cannot be convicted based on exercising his constitutional right so without actual evidence, silence from trump proves nothing. imagine Hillary was served by a trump white house and FBI and she pleaded the 5th because she did not want to be called for questioning before pro trump attorneys or DOJ officials... we would be supporting her right to exercise the 5th...
You're going by textbook. Doesn't always play that way when there is a judgment call to make. https://www.litigationandtrial.com/2013/04/articles/attorney/pleading-the-fifth-adverse-inferences/ https://www.gibsondunn.com/wp-conte...-FifthAmendmentCanAndWillBeUsedAgainstYou.pdf Don't know much about the law. Just throwing it out there.

Couldn't the prosecution use Trump's own words against him here since he opened that can of worms? Typically I'd expect no judge would let the prosecution go w/the tale of "he pled the 5th so he's hiding something!". However, this is different than playing the jury a tape of Trump saying "only mobsters/the guilty plead the fifth". Using his own words to show motive of hiding crimes?
Oh! I thought that by invoking the 5th, you meant that Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it.
