#1 You could see that it was going to happen a mile away.

#2 OK, let's talk about *her* involvement.

#3 Perhaps she will share her stories of her intelligence community placement and access, Russian language proficiency, frequent travel and residence in Russian communities, lists of Russian stories, contacts, and associations, or possibly her HAM Radio hobby ?

#4 Bring in witnesses that say things that only she could refute then cross-examine when she does.

#5 The problem with claiming any sort of testimonial privilege is that most folks assume the claim you decline to testify about is true. So you can get some good video just by asking direct questions:

Congress: "Ms. Ohr, isn't it a fact that your husband is a lying weasel?"

Lawyer: "Congresscritter, as I've said before, Ms. Ohr invokes the marital privilege and declines to answer that question."

Put that on You Tube.

#7 Why invoke marital privilege when you can just plead the fifth?

She's saving that for when they ask about her involvement.

#8 Why invoke marital privilege when you can just plead the fifth?

She's simply attempting to pick up a turd from the clean end.

#9 I want to hear about her ham radio license. Not because girls shouldn't be hams, but it is curious, like that Sherlock Holmes story about the dog that didn't CQ.

#10 I don't think the fifth ought to apply to government jobs. If it does, it should immediately disqualify you from holding that job or claiming benefits and you forfeit any form of retirement pensions or savings.

#11 I agree with you gorb. What kind of job anywhere else would let you refuse to answer the questions of your employer? I doubt you'd been on the payroll for very long.

#12 I'd argue the "10-Foot Rule" in opposition to her invokation.
