You do NOT “plead the fifth” -you invoke it. Period. Full Stop. Updated with Meadows lawsuit against Speaker Pelosi

Anytime I see/hear someone incorrectly stating “he/she is going to plead the fifth” I cringe because it’s not just factually incorrect it also indicates person(s) are painfully uninformed.
The piece is comprehensive and complete. The only thing missing is what we are witnessing is the "whine." My hope is they drag their sorry asses in, anyway, and force them to invoke the 5th for specific questions, they won't come in and therefore the contempt charges follow and the wheels of justice will roll forward (albeit not at lightening speed). My hope is that we, (all of us non-legal minds) do not permanently suffer from the fatigue of the wait and Triple-D cumulative actions.
BTW - I agree re invoking the 5th - Prove your case w/o me giving you a stick to beat me with.
Your timing is perfect because I am also frustrated by the constant questioning of how the Committee and the AG are handling all of this. However, when reading that Bannon's contempt hearing is not until next summer is frustrating because it feeds into the triple D strategy. I have heard it posed that the reason for this delay is the courts are behind with everything due to Covid. Is this a reasonable explanation?
"My atonement for ever believing these individuals (for nearly two years) is to call out their Blue-QANON-sense, any chance I get"
Holy moly, Filey, I ain't nobody but I forgive you. Heck, I'm saying prayers right now. lol
Once again, thank you for laying things out for us. Blue Q-Anon is, as you say, misinforming so many for some perceived clout. So glad I can see that now.
Grateful for legal explanations!

Thanks for doing this! Will read with interest. Likely funding sources for the cost of this action?
