Trump pleaded the Fifth more than 440 times
Trump is a criminal who deserves to face American justice for his multiple crimes across the land.
Trump pleaded the Fifth more than 440 times
Former President Donald Trump, during his deposition in New York on Wednesday, ended up pleading the Fifth more than 440 times, per NBC News....
...Trump declined to answer questions during a Wednesday deposition at the office of New York attorney general Tish James. James is investigating whether Trump's company, the Trump Organization, violated banking, insurance, and tax laws and if it engaged in financial fraud....
....After the deposition, Trump made a post on Truth Social, declaring that he was leaving the Attorney General's office.
"A very professional meeting. Have a fantastic company with great assets, very little debt, and lots of CASH. Only in America!" Trump wrote.
Trump famously declared in the past that only members of "the mob" would take the Fifth.
"You see the mob takes the Fifth," he said in April 2018. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
Trump is a well-known gaslighter. The fact he mentions how well TrumpCo is doing means the SS Trump ship is sinking.

He told us that only criminals plead the 5th.

True. Telling lies would be disastrous for him.

Irrelevant. The innocent have no more reason to talk than the innocent.

The truth as well. Only an idiot would agree to speak knowing that anything and everything you say can be used to prosecute you. That means you'd sing like a bird.

He also said he understood why they pleaded the fifth.

Absolutely not irrelevant. Trump confirmed that he is a criminal.

In his case, every answer would be a lie.

You'd have to be a dunce to say anything no matter who you are. But it would be especially bad for trump since they would scour what he says for even minor discrepancies in his comments. They have such a hard on for him.

...and it was one of the few times he was right.

WTF are you babbling about now, idiot?

The point is, and will be, that Trump said, far more than once, that only criminals plead the 5th. Where does that put him?

...or incriminating himself in a crime. He had no choice but plead the Fifth to avoid incriminating himself.
