GR,
Since you mentioned me, I'll weigh in.
No, I haven't posted much here lately.
I had a problem with some folks attacking me when I reacted to blatantly racist comments posted here. I was also reminded that this is a "horse racing" board by one of the moderators.
I respected those requests, though not the attacks.
So, back to the "topic" of the thread.
It seems to me that the one invoking the 5th amendment has not been charged with a crime. Precedent establishes that this can only be invoked for such cause. She first needs to answer the subpeona that will be issued, and then respond to questions. Absent of criminal accusation, Ms Goodling has no right to not incriminate herself.
The entire charade is easily seen by those that are capable. When the president states that he wants the American people to know the entire truth, but only within closed doors, without sworn testimony, and without transcript,
it gives the appearance of hiding exactly the same truth that he endorses.
Now I'll again "lurk", as I don't wish to respond to venomous pm's for the blind and bigoted.
