A former State Department official and associate of Sen. John McCain has invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify in connection with questions from the House Intelligence Committee about the anti-Trump dossier’s Russian sources, according to a law enforcement source.

David J. Kramer, who is a central player in how the unverified Trump dossier made its way to the FBI in late 2016, testified before the committee in December in a closed-door session, indicating he had information about the dossier's sources. A subpoena was issued for mid-January, as first reported by The Washington Examiner.

The law enforcement source confirmed, however, that Kramer did not appear and has exercised his Fifth Amendment rights.

Waiting to hear some news reader tell us that the senator could not be reached for his comments.

Once he is dead, the trail will go cold and those responsible will go free....again.

Actually, once he's dead, everyone will blame McCain. Its the blame-the-dead-guy defense.

Agreed! Once they take the government job, the employment contract should place the country above their individual rights to take the 5th.

Crush your enemies by taking their pension, bulldozing their house and property, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women.

Pleading the 5th is damning in itself. To me it shows there’s something that they think is worth hiding and taking the rap for.

I sure wouldn’t lay my head on the block for McLame of all people!

Sounds about right. I think the dam is about to break and a lot of these Lying Leftists won’t know what hit them. I think Obama may very well be among them.

McCain is on his death bed. How would he punish him for failing to testify?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out on the field.

The Fifth Amendment doesn't say we have a right not to testify. It says we have a right not to be a witness against ourselves. YUGE difference.
