That link indicates that Trump did exactly the right thing.The Trump Investigations: Trump Takes the Fifth Amendment in New York Deposition (Published 2022)
Donald J. Trump answered only one question, about his name, during a daylong interview with the New York attorney general, repeatedly invoking his right against self-incrimination as he was pressed about his business practices.www.nytimes.com
Pay wall for me
I'll buy that. Hard to believe he didn't plant his foot in his face. While he has the right to remain silent, he doesn't have the ability.
You are correct that taking the fifth was right for him. He is in trouble though as civil juries are allowed to make adverse inferences.
Easy enough to explain away. It's all going to depend on who's sitting on the jury.
Why would you put it on the jury as opposed to his shiftiness?
and New Yorkers are well aware of his history even if the if the rest of the country got their info from The Apprentice.
He could be caught in the act of fucking his supporters wives, it could be on video from multiple sources and he would deny it claiming it is all made up by the democrats and/or it was all fake news. Those same supporters, who walked in on him fucking their wives, would believe him over their own damn eyes.. Hell some would rip off their cloths and join him, even if their wives where not willing participants. That is how deep their brainwashing goes and why he can do no wrong, no matter how immoral or criminal his actions are, or those that follow him. Which is also why his pleading the fifth will be a sign of his innocence to those same asshats.
Then you admit that all the times when he said that people who take the 5th are really guilty doesn't apply to him because he did the right thing according to an article. As I said elsewhere when it comes to partisanship rationalizations they all depend on whose ox gets gored. When Trump thought somebody needed to be brought to justice he would gladly have tortured them for a confession. He would never have allowed his enemies to take the 5th. He wouldn't even need them to be guilty, just confess to whatever he wanted to charge them with. All that happened there was that a piece of criminal garbage evoked his constitutional right not to incriminate his criminal self. The fact this country allowed that guy to even run for office much less avoid two impeachment attempts tells you how utterly corrupt this country is. Now that piece of shit gets to hide behind what's still left that's good about it. What that fuck deserves is extraordinary rendition to Guantanamo Bay.
