Consider other nations; To whom were they, did they think, they were communicating on international issues?
Did they have a second set of phone numbers on the QT?

Are any of them being accused of a crime? No? Huh. All we want to know is if they knew Joe Biden was no longer mentally competent to be president. And I doubt SCOTUS would overturn the pardons, there is no qualification for that in the Constitution.

If there were no fifth amendment right not to incriminate oneself, Bernal can just say “I don’t remember, I don’t recall, I know nothing.”
This is known as the Sgt. Schultz strategy of Hogan’s Hero’s fame.

Bernal can rest easy knowing that all those that have “testified” before any Republican led committee and lied through their teeth, suffered no consequences whatsoever.

It’s sort of like robbing a bank, you get arrested and immediately released – no bail needed – and you walk to the nearest bank and rob that one, get arrested – again – get released again, no bail needed, and so on, ad infinitum.

And once the “show trial with no consequences” is over, he can just jet over to CNN , MSNBC, etc., and land a very high paid, cushy job as an expert in whatever
the broadcast network assigns.

If I have my facts correct, a congressional committee can only request the DOJ to indict someone. If this is so, perhaps it’s best for the DOJ to just get started on this and skip the congressional committee hearings.

Anyway, when it’s all said and done, all finished, nobody will be indicated, nobody will go to jail.

When you realize that “they” is Barack Obama’s preferred pronoun it all makes sense.

What did anyone expect, I like Gringos comment about immunity.

Give them immunity. Then they can be jailed for contempt if they refuse to answer.

That’s right!

(Actually, they’ve already taken L.A….and several other locales…)

That’s OK, take the Fifth.
But, I sure wish we could Waterboard them.
