Breaking news! Flynn will invoke his 5th amendment right! This is just coming out, by the AP! I think he will be the one to fall on the sword for Trump! Iran Contra, Oliver North!

(15,245 posts)I hope they get his pension with jail time. There are others and the goods on Flynn are already known. He will be joined by others and will someday want to tell his "story". A good old "pardon" does not help when you are a broke treasonous POS.

(21,718 posts)Thank-you. Invoking the 5th is his right, but he has to show up to invoke it. I could be wrong, and I haven't heard him speak about it, it just sounded like he was going to blow Congress off.

(26,060 posts)was they asked him for some documents and he's asserted his fifth amendment rights as a reason he refuses to do it. Not really sure what happens in that case but I would think it's still contempt of congress.
