He's the leading Stooge of the Three Stooges...

Video released on Tuesday showed Donald Trump answering questions from the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, in a deposition in a civil fraud case late last summer.

Questioned about his financial affairs, the former president repeatedly invoked his fifth-amendment right against self-incrimination – part of a refusal to answer he repeated more than 400 times.

For the one millionth time why should he aid them in their prosection of them? If they have the evidence to convict him it doesn't matter if he speaks or not. How is it you people wake up more stupid than you were the day before?

The JPP forum idiot speaks.

The JPP forum idiot speaks.

But the JPP retard can't formulate a counter argument. Well you're retarded so it's no fair to expect too much from you. You never disappoint

What is Trump trying to hide? Why won't Trump tell the truth?

[Althea]

Utilizing the right to remain silent cannot be taken as evidence of a crime. Though instead of invoking the right I personally would "not recall" anything at all.

Yes it can. This is a civil case.

He can't use the dementia defense. Once he starts answering questions he's in trouble.

[Althea]

What is Trump trying to hide? Why won't Trump tell the truth?

Because the truth is damning.

Whereas he wouldn't actually say the words when he invoked (to avoid the soundbite), it was great to see the rage in his eyes as the lawyer dared to disrespect him with questions.

[Althea]

Because it's a civil case he was being deposed for - taking the 5th can hurt him. He's on record refusing to answer whether or not he agreed to cook the books. It's not going to go well for him - he'll get fined another amount he can afford.

There won't be justice until some DA indicts him criminally.

Another reason he cannot answer.

It could be used in his criminal trial

You are an idiot. Kafkatrapping is a recognized and defined logical fallacy.

The fallacy called kafkatrapping doesn’t represent an argument as much as it represents an accusation. Named after the famous Franz Kafka’s novel The Trial in which the main character is accused of an unknown crime. The only evidence is his denial of guilt.

The fallacy occurs not with the accusation but with the verdict.

You suggest that because Trump took the fifth repeatedly that his obviously guilty (implied) because of his refusal to answer questions asked of him. Only a guilty man would refuse to answer questions under oath...

That's the epitome of Kafkatrapping named after Kafka's work, The Trial.

This is not a criminal trial.
