It's my understanding that one has an unassailable right against self-incrimination via the 5th Amendment.

It's also my understanding that once a witness takes the stand and makes any statement as to the facts, as LL effectively did via her self-serving screed, that witness becomes legally subject to cross-examination.

And while they may subsequently assert their rights under the 5th at each subsequent question, such assertion does not excuse them until such time as the questioner rests, or they're dismissed via judicial pronouncement.
