| Fusion GPS officials take the Fifth in Trump dossier interview on Capitol Hill |
| 2017-10-19 |
| [FOXNEWS] Two top officials at the political research firm behind a salacious dossier alleging various Russian connections to President Trump's campaign invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch and top lieutenant Thomas Catan were subpoenaed to appear before the committee in a closed-door session on Wednesday but asserted their right not to testify, a source close to the matter told Fox News. Fritsch and Catan took the Fifth on every question posed by committee members. Another co-founder, Glenn Simpson, is under subpoena for a later date. The move was expected. |

| #3 The rot within the corridors of the federal government that Trump is exposing-- whether it's intentional or not-- simply because he had the audacity to run and win has reached staggering proportions. At this point, only the willfully blind, ignorant, negligent, and treasonous can fail to see things for what they truly are. |

| #2 The individuals may insulate themselves with the 5th but I wonder if Fusion GPS and it's principals can survive a 'drill-down' audit of their past associations. |

| #1 Can take the 5th in a Civil Court over libel. Of course, you'll most likely lose. Maybe the Don can set a national record for the amount of judgement. Then the 'top officials' could learn what perpetual impoverishment means. |
