So here we have Mark Pomerantz taking the Fifth during a Congressional hearing.
The guy has no guts to admit he's been the hit man appointed/anointed to get Trump at any cost, having once worked for Obama, then number 3 in Biden's DoJ, he leaves that job to head the Manhattan debacle.
And he knows who the others are involved in all this.
Testimony from ex-prosecutor Mark Pomerantz on his investigation of Donald Trump is bolstering conservatives' beliefs—including those of GOP Representative Matt Gaetz, who called the trial a "sham" to Newsweek—that Pomerantz and other Democrats have long intended to take down the former president without just cause.
New video released from a May 1, 2023, deposition shows the former special assistant to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pleading the Fifth Amendment multiple times to various questions posed by Republican members on the U.S. House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
One question in which Pomerantz pleaded the Fifth was asked by Republican Representative Matt Gaetz: "Did you knowingly break any laws when investigating President Trump?"
The Florida conservative also asked Pomerantz if he broke any laws when he worked at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, as well as whether he violated anyone's constitutional rights or New York State Bar rules while investigating Trump.
"Same response," Pomerantz repeatedly said during the approximate six-hour hearing that day.
"In a closed-door deposition, I asked Mark Pomerantz very simple questions regarding whether he committed crimes or violated the civil rights of any people in the course of his investigation of President Trump and his tenure at the Manhattan DA's office," Gaetz told Newsweek via email on Thursday. "Every single time he plead his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
"This Trump trial is such a sham that even the prosecutors can't admit on record if they acted lawfully for fear of incriminating themselves. Shame and a disgrace!"
