Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler’s demand to at least 81 Trump associates to answer questions about the president’s business, policies, practices, conversations, finances and relationships – is nothing but a “perjury trap.”

And the recipients of the questions should “take the Fifth,” said former federal prosecutor Joseph DiGenova in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on “The Story.”

“This is a perjury trap,” DiGenova said. “It is not a legitimate investigation, it’s a fishing expedition. They are trying to get people up there to make them look bad so they can try to make the president look bad.”

Joseph DiGenova is right. Even though Donald Trump is largely a con man, the federal prosecutors have shown that they are are dishonest brokers, looking to set perjury traps, even on minor issues.

btw, I read a fascinating article criticizing how people take the fifth. They could use wording much more informative, and positive to their position, and flourishing, than the wording you hear so often. And I did not bookmark it, so I don't have it immediately available. (The Trump crew should know about this.)

e.g. They could say something like this:

"In view of how the politicized Robert Mueller special prosecutors have selectively handled questioning, and also used statements made in hearings, for the specific purpose of creating perjury traps, even when there is no substantive and material legal violation, I stand on my fundamental constitutional fifth amendment protections against being compelled to give testimony that might be used against myself. Including the concern of any possible future creative actions by runaway politicized prosecutors, who could maneuver the smallest lapse of memory or perceived inexactitude for the specific purpose of making me a witness against myself, even in order simply to pressure me to testify, by plea bargain, on unrelated matters by the threat of financial ruin in legal defense. And understanding that, in resisting a plea bargain in any such manufactured case, if they managed to maneuver and secure a conviction from a friendly court, draconian sentencing recommendations would come forth."

I agree that this is nothing more than Nadler and the Dems trying to create a crime when none exists by use of perjury traps.

It's pathetic that in the 2+ years Mueller has been investigating the POTUS and others, all he mostly has to show for it are several perjury charges.
