President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If no crimes have been committed, why would an attorney need to plead the fifth in a civil case?
Enquiring minds want to know!

 

This is so much more fun to watch than Watergate.

 

Ew.

I'm no fan of Team Trump, but I despise this argument.

I've advised clients to plead the Fifth in civil cases in which I did not believe they had committed crimes.

 

We are down to 2 people recommending this thread on FB. We lost one since the last time I checked.

 

I'm no lawyer, but my family and I have received a couple lawsuit settlements for car accidents, and they were tax-free.

Not sure if the same thing applies here, though.

 

If you don't spell out exactly how much of the consideration is for "damages" and how much is for "keeping your mouth shut" -- the latter's the part that's taxable -- a tax court will be perfectly happy to spell it out for you.

 

You're just too invested in the doctrine of Trump Supremacy.

 

I would really be interested to see what Miller's next job is, after this misadventure.
I reserve my greatest contempt of them all for this turdlet.

 

A YF favorite.

Stop trying to insert reason.
If you're not going to shout and shake your fist, you're pro-Trump.

The possibilities are endless.

 

Anybody can plead the Fifth and it should be regarded without prejudice. I just read a tweetstorm from that lawyer Popehat who said Cohen must have done so reluctantly since it will very adversely affect his side in the Daniels civil suit.
