Of course, that's not at all what the story says.One legal expert said that if it was a criminal case, she might have waived. The other legal experts said she hadn't waived.

Issa is becoming Inspector Javert right in front of us. Also, if he asked me for directions to the bathroom, I'd plead the fifth and scurry away as quickly as possible.

Don't kid yourself.
