Glenn Simpson, whose Fusion GPS firm has been tied to anti-Trump efforts and pro-Russian lobbying, will not talk to lawmakers in response to a subpoena, the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committe said Friday....
..."Simpsons attorney has asserted that his client will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to the subpoena," Grassley and Feinstein said.
During the campaign, Fusion GPS contracted former MI-6 agent Christopher Steele to look into rumors about Trump's financial and social connections in Russia.

I know, I know, they say we're not supposed to infer anything about guilt or innocence when someone "takes the 5th" but this guy is as slimy as they come!
Send him to Gitmo!
Offer him immunity if he can nail Hillary, Podesta, etc.
He is pure slime. Certified slime.
But of course
Did anyone expect anything else?
Can the Senate Judiciary Committee sentence someone to jail for using the fifth?
Excellent idea. If there’s any way to get him to cooperate fully, I’m all for it!
Just so long as it’s not the fake “immunity” process that Comey did with all of Shrillary’s staff, where no one gives any real info or documents.
OT: How I wish there was a Chrome browser that would stop all video autoplay. That is really irritating.
Fortunately I can click on the Reader View extension and that stops the autoplay video.
If this schmuck does testify there will also be many convenient memory lapses.
The Senate Judiciary Committee cannot prosecute or sentence anyone, period.
The most they can do in that direction is to make a recommendation or request to the Dept of Justice and FBI to open an investigation and/or prepare a prosecution.
MI-6! Shhhhhhh.
Didn’t that female Russian lawyer work for Fusion GPS? I’m pretty sure I remember George Webb saying she was a Fusion GPS plant and that she also worked for the DNC (or DNC funded organizations.)
“Podesta, McCain and I had drunk a fifth between us when we cooked this up Chairman. I don’t remember nuthin’!”
Well, now, guess who has control over the apparent data and communications dragnet now? Wonder what somebody could dredge up by drilling down on this man and every employee of Fusion GPS? I’m sure it would be quite intriguing.
Get a prc 25 and dial him up.
It sure would be great if we had an FBI Director and an alpha male attorney general.
Excellent!
Well Well Well, what do we have here..now imagine someone connected to President Trump pleading the fifth, the reaction of the Commie media..but since its a Democrat hack not a peep
How queer.
Read the constitution.
