I had no idea that a prosecutor could bleed the fifth during a court case

Five hour deposition ---

May 2, 2024
Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Judiciary Committee released the full deposition video of Mark Pomerantz, former Special Assistant District Attorney for the New York County District Attorney's Office (DANY).

The Committee recently released an interim report detailing the political origins and motivations of DANY's investigation and prosecution of President Trump.

Judiciary Committee Releases Mark Pomerantz Deposition Video

Lots more "same response" as shorthand for pleading the 5th throughout. Throughout very pertinent and probing questions were basically answered with "I refuse to answer."

Such is the "open" nature of Democrat operatives in this political attack in Trump using lawfare.

Can’t wait for this guy to be called as a witness by Trump’s attorney. Merchan will probably say his testimony is irrelevant.

One of the very many things that I do not understand about the government, is how a government paid employee is allowed to not cooperate with investigations and suffer no negative impact.

In the private world, if an employee does not fully cooperate with investigations internal and external, it is certain termination and loss of all benefits. No appeal.

I simply do not understand why this logical standard does not apply to government. If you are a government employee and fail to fully and completely cooperative with an audit, internal investigation, legal case. Automatic termination, loss of all benefits, can never be rehired.

A nice tune-up, a short drop and a sudden stop.

I won’t defend this guy, but if I were being questioned about a case and I had any doubts of where the investigation was going, I would also plead the 5th.

Why is that shocking? It’s to be expected with this crowd.

I’m no fan of Gowdy but wasn’t it during a hearing with Lerner that she was required by law to answer questions or face incarceration?

He stated that had she pled the 5th from the start, she would have been fine. But she answered some questions and then clammed up. Apparently not allowed if I remember it correctly.

Someone feel free to fact check.

I lost count, bit it had to be somewhere around 30-50 pleads of the 5th.

He has every right to take advantage of his Fifth Amendment rights to not answer the question. And there is every right to remove him from the case, and positions where he could not affirmatively guarantee he did not violate the law or people’s Constitutional Rights.
