  1. Taking the 5th must be applied to every specific question that is asked and can not be used as a “Blanket Coverage” to cover all questions asked. If a person takes the 5th for a question that has no incrimination on their part or violation of law, an individual can be held in contempt or if Congress gives the individual limited immunity and they still refuses to answer it is contempt. You have to be sworn in for a deposition and be asked a question before you can plead the 5th; not appearing when subpoenaed is contempt of Congress.
