"The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” --Donald Trump, September 2016
Hysterical! “Based on the advice of counsel, I will assert my 5th amendment rights in connection with all proceeding in this case due to the ongoing criminal investigation by the FBI and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,” Cohen said in a court filing Wednesday.
Why then, if what Donald said is true, Cohen must be 'not innocent'? Either that or all criminal investigations against the mob are 'witch hunts!"

But then again, in the president's own words, "The mob takes the Fifth. If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” --Donald Trump, September 2016
Yeah, he got pardoned after serving time and after a period of years! Also tremendous legal costs and incredible stress upon him and his family. Epic fail on your part. Taking the 5th is his legal right and in light of Scooter Libby's experience a very smart thing to do. Why leave yourself open to s perjury trap?
As Trump, he's the one who asked why anyone would take the 5th if innocent. I didn't hear anyone bitching when he said that.
