no one can permanently give up their fifth amendment right about any topic.

You can waive it for a moment and then change your mind.

I saw him pocket it. It's pathetic. Imagine if this happened to you or me. We'd be in cuffs and away.

So now Congress is making rulings on the interpretation of law? Ha.... Anything to win the House for the Dems, even subvert the basic tents of the Constitution.

Let's dig into the political histories of these professional book-cookers and see if they can handle the scrutiny. John McCain was probably the most notorious of the Keating Five. He flew on Charles Keating's private jet to Keating's estate in the Caribbean numerous times. What a duplicitous windbag - he now has gotten the religion of probity.

Of course, the other four members of the Keating Five were all Democrats: Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, John Glenn, and Donald Reigle.

I could never take McCain seriously. He always reminded me of that eagle character on the Muppet Show.

If the actions of Congress did not affect me personally, then the petty hunger for power evidenced by these blockheads would be merely pathetic.
