I have an incredible investment opportunity for you all! 😉
Just kidding! On a more serious note, I was thinking early today how the phrase “taking the fifth” has entered the non-legal lexicon, to mean “that’s none of your business”, “that’s a private matter”, or just plain, “I’d prefer not to say or discuss it”. I find this worrying because it could be an indication that potentially criminal behavior is becoming normalized. Or information/answers that should be a matter of public record is being concealed.
Recently, the January 6th committee played a taped deposition of Michael Flynn taking the fifth when asked if he believed in “the peaceful transition of power, either morally or legally”. I found it pretty wild that either answer to that question, yes or no, could be self-incriminating. It wasn’t normal to me, but it at the same time seemed unsurprising these days for an official or ex-official to refuse to answer questions about basic American Democracy.
