Dave Workman: "The earthquake irony of ‘Taking the Fifth’ in Fast & Furious."

“You take the Fifth when you are about to be charged with a crime or are potentially guilty of a crime.”

‎"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come." - Patrick Henry, in his famous "The War Inevitable" speech, March 23, 1775

You should take the fifth whenever a cop asks you any questions. Many an innocent person has run afoul of the law by saying to much. Even if found not guilty they spent a lot of cash to save themselves. Just decline to answer any questions from a cop.

Bravo Sierra. You take the 5th EVERY TIME one of those snot-nosed government trolls starts sniffing around asking questions.

It is noteworthy, however, for an AUSA to take it in response to an official investigation.

What are the odds of justice in this case ?. NONE. These Scumbags might be given a little Fanny spank for the publics sake ,then they will be sent down the road with full government retirement benifits.
