“President Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton staffers who requested immunity or invoked their Fifth Amendment rights last year in response to requests to testify about the former secretary of state's private email server.
“ ‘If you are not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?’ Trump said at a Florida campaign rally in September.
" ‘The mob takes the Fifth Amendment," Trump said at a subsequent campaign event in Iowa. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’
“That was then. Now, Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, requested immunity from prosecution in March in exchange for testifying before the House and Senate intelligence committees about Russia's interference in the 2016 election. And on Monday, Flynn is expected to flout a Senate subpoena for documents related to his contacts with Russia by invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
“White House press secretary Sean Spicer also weighed in on the amendment, tweeting in 2013: ‘why do u take the 5th if you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide?’ “
Yes! Precisely! Why would you do that?
