Gee, a real shocker here. Andrew McCabe, the no-good compulsive liar, disgraced and fired former deputy FBI Director--who's being investigated for the gross mishandling in the Clinton email scandal--is demanding immunity or else he will plead the 5th so as not to incriminate himself.

Everyone's talking about Trump's "legal woes." McCabe, Comey, and many others have major problems of their own.

The clapping seal progressives™ often claim that nobody pleads the 5th unless they have something to hide. I'm guessing they will keep that argument tucked away for use some other day.

Your utter lack of facts or even basic knowledge of what you're talking about is pathetic. It's your Republican leader who says that, not liberals:

Vivify, so ... Clearly...

You have zero issues with any of those guys pleading the Fifth, right?

It's fine when McCabe does it... And it is fine when other people do it, right?

And certainly you see the irony: the investigators who are allegedly bringing all of these crimes to light through their great & outstanding services are actually needing to plead the fifth.

Right?

McCabe is currently the subject of a criminal referral insisted on by Republicans after his firing. He'd be a fool to testify before Congress on the same subject as the criminal investigation without at least use immunity.

Congress has to decide whether his testimony is important enough to grant immunity.

"McCabe is currently the subject of a criminal referral insisted on by Republicans"

are you suggesting McCabe shouldn't be prosecuted?

I've never complained about anyone pleading the Fifth. I was just correcting Wosley on his claim about liberals denouncing the Fifth. He seems confused, since Trump frequently opens his mouth about it, which is why it has been brought up mainstream media that Wosely probably considers "liberal".

Wolsey just need his hypocrisy pointed out, since so many right-wingers have plead the Fifth recently.

I made a general statement, as I recalled the hysterics when Michael Flynn (and others) have pleaded the 5th in the past.

If they give him immunity he will in return give them nothing.

They should do to him what Dims did to Flynn.
