Leahy on Flynn Pleading the 5th: ‘I Prosecuted a Lot of Criminals Who Took the Fifth’
‘Fifth Amendment gives you protection against incriminating yourself for a crime, not protecting yourself against a frenzy’
EXCERPT:
LEAHY: "Well, I was a prosecutor for eight years. I prosecuted a lot of criminals who took the Fifth. They had the right under the Constitution, but General Flynn's lawyers say he wants to take the Fifth because it may be a frenzy. No. Fifth Amendment gives you protection against incriminating yourself for a crime, not protecting yourself against a frenzy."
