Is there any legal principle that says it is possible to abuse your fifth amendment right not to incriminate yourself? I was listening to a clip of a Senate GSA hearing yesterday. One of the senators asked a guy what his title at the GSA was. They guy invoked his 5th right and refused to tell the Senator what his title was. If there is no legal problem with this then there is a moral, and commonsense problem with it. There is no conceivable way he could have incriminated himself by answering that question. It shows contempt for the Senator not to mention every citizen of the US.
