Yes we all have a Constitutional Right to plead the 5th Amendment. But in this case it does lead one to wonder why this gentleman would feel the need to plead the 5th Amendment and why he doesn't feel comfortable telling the truth. I can't help but wonder what the real truth might be.

Because it was for a sham of a reason and just for show for the Comer/Jordan/Gaetz kangaroo committee investigation

Because there is an ongoing case of Trump's hush money (same as the premise of Jordan's subpoena), Pomerantz can't comment.

"Pomerantz told lawmakers in his opening statement that he was instructed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that he would maintain their “claims of privilege and confidentiality in order to protect the integrity of the pending prosecution and continuing investigation of Donald Trump.”

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/conservative-media-pressure-jim-jordan-launches-new-probe-rcna150546

Media Matters explained in a report this week, “Pro-Trump media figures alleged that Colangelo is a ‘partisan hatchet man’ and claimed that his past service in the Justice Department ... proves that Trump’s indictment was a ‘political hit by Biden to take out Trump.’ In reality, Colangelo had unique experience for Bragg because he led the New York attorney general’s civil inquiry into Trump before joining the Justice Department, and it is not unusual for lawyers to leave DOJ for senior roles in the Manhattan DA’s office.”

Seems like Bannon is calling the shots.

Just as with Lois Lerner on the stand who claimed the 5th, a district attorney should nave no reason to plead the 5th IF everything was on the up and up in a legal ethical and honest manner. He SHOULD be able to claim all of that without pleading the 5th. Yet he can't. The Left would feel exactly as I do if a Conservative politician or district attorney pleaded the 5th. As a Conservative I would hope my representative could simply answer those questions without the need to claim the 5th. The Left doesn't have the expectation of ethics, morals and honesty as I do. That my BFF is a given.

Has he done so yet? Let me know when he does. You may be correct depending on the questions. Let's not forget Trump is not being prosecuted but more like persecuted only to keep him from running for office. Usually it is the people's choice to determine who runs and who gets elected but of course now the Left is taking on both of those job duties by determining all by themselves who gets to run for election.

But HEY!!!!! You have done your typical DEFLECTION bullshit. We are talking about a district attorney who for some reason is not able to honestly say whether or not he engaged in illegal, immoral or unethical practices to put Trump on trial. If the roles were reversed you would feel exactly as I feel wouldn't you? Are you ethical enough to admit it does look like BULLSHIT and unethical dishonest behavior on the part of the Left?

Innocent or not, this guy has an attorney present that is objecting to every direct question whether he committed a crime. And he wisely pleads the 5th to every question to which his lawyer objects.

All a negative response does is place him in jeopardy for prosecution for lying. Even if all he did was a misdemeanor offense.

You are agreeing then the district attorney should conduct his business in an unethical dishonest manner and then claim the 5th Amendment protection when asked about it. Apparently ethics, honesty, being above board mean nothing to those of you on the Left, right?

Makes me wonder why a district attorney would even NEED an attorney to cover his ass with respect to daily duties working for the people. It should make all of you wonder too but it doesn't does it?

It's all about timing. If the DA has done anything improper, trump gets to file for prosecutorial misconduct. If there's a there there, it will get it's day in court.

Trump and kids and many others are wise to just plead the 5th.

At least he said he respected the authority of the subpoena and he would do his duty. That's more than you can say for the GOP chicken shits.

"Earlier this year, the committee issued subpoenas to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other GOP representatives to testify to the committee about their involvement with Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election: Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama. All five ignored the subpoenas."

Guess they figured they'd mess up while invoking the fifth and cause themselves jeopardy.

Unfortunately for you your guesses aren't worth a damn no matter how many you submit or consider. You on the Left are forever telling us if Trump is reelected he will become a dictator or some such nonsense but the reality is he does not exhibit the signs of mental degradation exhibited every single day by POS Biden does he? Yet you all make up shit to scare people away saying he will take away the Constitution will cancel Social Security and so on. None of it has been done by a GOP candidate in the past and yet you insist Trump will do all of the above and more. Guesses from the Left equal BULLSHIT.

i think you're getting your people mixed up. It's not Bragg who was subpoenaed. Pomerantz is a former prosecutor and has not been involved in the current trial. He's bound by confidentiality. All you are doing is stirring up what ifs and whatabouts and no evidence of wrong doing; no evidence! Just Jordan's (sought by Bannon) seeking to add noise around the actual court proceedings.

All I did was post a video link about Pomerantz claiming the 5th. I don't think I even mentioned Bragg did I? Maybe it is you who is getting mixed up.

Pay attention.

You kept referring to Pomerantz by Bragg's title; not by name.

Does anyone have a link to the video where tRump pleaded the 5th about 50 times in a row?
Was it at his phony University hearing? was it at his phony Charity hearing? I don't recall since he lies so much.

Regurgitator? Much? You just sorta common sense call 'em as they're 'splained to you eh sheriff? Have you come around to Daddy's way of thinking on pardoning the J6 alt-patriot dregs yet? Did you get the hat? Do you prance about in your Ted Nugent patriot's underpants brandishing that cute little 'steppin' out' semi-auto? Any King Don bible thumping? Any pics?

Well, I didn’t say that, and you didn’t say that, and I didn’t agree to any such statement.


Which makes you a dishonest liar.
