ORIGINAL: servantforuse It doesn't matter if I think she is guilty. The FBI is now investigating this. If she would plead the 5th, that's also fine with me. She does have that right. She doesn't even have to plead the 5th. In fact, she doesn't have to say or do anything at all (she can authorize her lawyers do that in court). That is the purpose of one section in the 5th amendment. Since many people assume "Someone whom is pleading the 5th....MUST BE....guilty of something, right?". That's basically undermining the process of our form of laws, government and justice. A person, regardless of how much they are reviled, are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of line. So all the speech language that she is guilty of....something....is from conservatives and libertarians. They want her 'out of the way', because she beats down....*ALL*....the Republican and Tea Party candidates in poll after poll. But wide margins in many cases. Even if its Clinton verse Trump, the nation will still vote for Mrs. Clinton. The ones claiming she is guilty, are, ALSO, the ones that would vote against her in a national election. Therefore they are politically....NOT....legally motivated in seeing her charged and jailed. And that undermines their ability to be taken seriously. If these people are willing to throw out legal protections and laws, just to gain a political advantage; what else could they be motivated to do that destroys other protections and laws we US Citizens enjoy? Maybe we should put these people under the same level of scrutiny we do Mrs. Clinton. See how many of them crack under 1/100th as much strain and stress.
