Fusion GPS Partners Plead The Fifth During House Intel Appearance
[Image: 6703yf.jpg]

The company behind the dossier against Trump who was in the pocket of both the Democrats and the Russians refuse to tell who was behind the dossier. Hint: Democrats and Russians. More collusion.

Quote:Two of the co-founders of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the infamous Trump dossier, invoked their Fifth Amendment rights during a meeting with the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter told The Daily Caller.

Peter Fritsch and Thomas Catan, the two Fusion GPS partners, plead the Fifth “to every question asked of them,” the source says.

The House panel earlier this month subpoenaed Fritsch, Catan and their fellow partner, Glenn Simpson, to discuss their involvement in the dossier, which was compiled last year by former British spy Christopher Steele.

In a letter to California Rep. Devin Nunes earlier this week, Fusion’s attorneys suggested that the three partners, all former Wall Street Journal reporters, would refuse to cooperate with the committee, citing First Amendment protections and confidentiality agreements.

My favorite version of that game is still Gordon Liddy’s refusal to even take the oath in the first place. He was already in federal custody, so he couldn’t avoid the subpoena. He stood and raised his right hand as instructed. Then he was asked if he solemnly swore etc. etc. He replied, “I do not.” That was the end of the questioning.

I'm curious what crimes Fusion GPS committed or is accused of committing that they felt the need to plead the fifth.

I just hope the congressmen don't just say, "oh, okay, no big deal" and don't go for the jugular like they should.

I just don't blame them for taking the fifth. It's either that or a self inflicted two bullet wound to the head.

Why are they not proud of their report? 03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao03-lmfao

I dont think they fear possibly incriminating themselves in any potential criminal actions... I think they fear ending up like Seth Rich if they say anything.

Between potentially being held in contempt (not even sure if that's possible in this type of hearing) or ending up 'committing involuntary suicide' a few weeks later... which would you choose?

That's some real in-depth thinking you've got going on there. How long did it take you to think up that response? It's nice when people engage in adult communication on an issue and discuss their beliefs and principles.
I hope that response didn't require too much brainpower on your behalf.

Brainpower? You're giving him too much credit.

This country has become like a third world country where people wind up dead. Russia gets criticism from everyone and everyone is doing it, that is snuffing out lives.

The Demons need to be in jail.

General Kelly, yesterday "You know, when I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That's obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases. Life -- the dignity of life -- is sacred. That's gone. Religion, that seems to be gone as well.

Gold Star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer. But I just thought -- the selfless devotion that brings a man or woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that that might be sacred."

Yep, we are in trouble?
