    Default Cohen To Take The 5th!

    "Michael Cohen, the longtime attorney of President Trump, told a federal judge on Wednesday that he will invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself in a lawsuit brought by adult entertainer Stormy Daniels."

    "“This is a stunning development,” Michael Avenatti, a lawyer for Daniels, said in a tweet. “Never before in our nation’s history has the attorney for the sitting President invoked the 5th Amend in connection with issues surrounding the President. It is esp. stunning seeing as MC served as the ‘fixer’ for Mr. Trump for over 10 yrs.”"

    "“The mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said at one campaign rally. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”"

    This is huge.

    You generally do not take the 5th unless you believe you will be incriminated.

    That means Cohen knows he has done something illegal.

    Not necessarily. I am sure the guy is shady, but taking the 5th is a smart move generally.

    If it were only so simple. The fifth amendment gives you a right not to testify against yourself in criminal matters. It s not conditioned upon "if you are guilty".

    Taking the 5th is a last resort because it implies guilt of a criminal offense.
