President Donald Trump's longtime political ally Roger Stone invoked his Fifth Amendment protection as he declined to share documents and testimony with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to a letter posted Tuesday by the committee's top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

"Mr. Stone's invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege must be understood by all to be the assertion of a Constitutional right by an innocent citizen who denounces secrecy," Stone's attorney, Grant Smith, said in the letter, dated Dec. 3.

Give him immunity and then demand that he testify.

[P.O.E.]

I was watching a documentary about the McCarthy hearings, and libs were all over the place saying how pleading the 5th was not any admission of guilt whatsoever. Wonder what they’re saying now....

Did she leak this?

She posted the letter on Twitter.

Roger Stone’s attorney sent a letter this week stating Stone won’t provide documents or appear for an interview before the committee. https://t.co/csC3TG1BPH pic.twitter.com/oRbpE0qjEw— Sen Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) December 4, 2018

Since the Senate Committee is totally in bed with Weasel Mueller, what do they expect?

[SaveFerris]

Oh my, how politically-incorrect of Roger Stone!

[conservative98]

You know Dianne, you are an 85 year old woman and should be ashamed of yourself. You should be stepping down like me.

[Brilliant]

He should have done that long ago.

LOL, that’s a great pic.

We ARE IN a very real fight for our republic.

The next months may decide the fate of this country.

I HATE drama queens.

I’ve said time and again that a CWII was ridiculous.

I thought the country would hold together.

Now I’m not so sure.

Roger is ever the snappy dresser!

I’ve said time and again that a CWII was ridiculous.

We've been in what one learned pundit calls a "cold civil war" for years. It' warming up enough that many of the frogs (citizens) realize they're about to be boiled. The question is: will they jump out of the pot and start truly defending themselves? My guess is there will be a keyboard civil war that's doomed to failure. As one comic put it: "A real civil war would require people to go outside."

Good!

[conservative98]

Nice.

I would not say anything either. Too many opportunities for the subject to make a mistake which puts him into a perjury trap.

Why cooperate? Mueller is witch hunting.
