Trump takes the Fifth at deposition

Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer questions from the New York attorney general at a scheduled deposition. "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 the Trump Organization's finances. #CNN #News

I just invoked the 5th amendment. It was beautiful. Nobody uses the 5th Amendment like me. No one had even heard of it before me. People, very smart people, are coming to me saying “Sir, we’ve never seen someone use the 5th amendment like you before.”

"Only the mob takes the fifth. If that guy has nothing to hide, why is he taking the fifth amendment?" --- Trump, 2016.

Didn't he say only criminals took the fifth? I totally agree with him.

I agree with Trump the 🟠🤡

“You see the mob takes the Fifth, ” Trump said during a 2016 rally in Iowa. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

Pleading the 5th is something a criminal needs to do when the evidence against them is so overwhelming that everything they say can actually incriminate them further, adding to their crimes.

Imagine what he'd be saying if all this was happening to Obama?

When he took the fifth, he might as well have admitted his guilt.

Trump Then: "I represent the party of law and order, only corrupt criminals plead the 5th."
Trump Now: "Law and order are corrupt, I represent innocent people like me who plead the 5th."

[EJWash]

No current nor former occupant of the White House has ever plead the 5th. Another first! Winning!!! 🤦🏽‍♂

You know what would be cool after this search warrant? An arrest warrant.

I remember Spanky proclaiming that only criminals plead the fifth. Makes sense.

[robetclo]

Hasn't someone ever said that pleading the 5th is an admission of guilt? Oh, yes, Donald Trump is not it?
