If Trump and buddies do not choose to testify are they admitting guilt?

If Trump and buddies do not choose to testify are they admitting guilt?

President Donald Trump has derided the Fifth Amendment as the refuge of mobsters, and during Watergate President Richard Nixon infamously told aides, "I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up, or anything else."

Using executive privilege to not testify is the equivalent of taking the 5th.

People who take the fifth are GUILTY of something. Preventing people from testifying on information that should support what the accused has promulgated speaks volumes...

So when Lois Lerner chose to take the fifth and not testify in the IRS scandal hearings she was admitting her guilt? If this is the standard are we applying to everyone or just those we don't agree with politically?

Stalinist scumbag? I do not want the US President to have as much power as Stalin. That is what Trump is going for.
Tell me why you think my statement results in you calling me a Stalinist scum bag. I am interested in how your brain works.

Yes, if you think what you say will incriminate you, I say you are guilty.

Yes he was. And I do not want any more politicians to get away with crimes.

So excersing your Constitutional Fifth Amendment rights makes one guilty? Good to know how little the left thinks of the Constitution and the rights and protections it affords all of us.

“The mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said after Hillary Clinton aides invoked their right against self-incrimination. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

Yes, refusal to testify, ignoring subpoenas for documents, destroying records, all those things fall into "adverse inference"

The Trump cabal's guilt hasn't been in question for a while now. The current argument is over whether we should abandon the rule of law for him.

Because you have the Constitutional right do so. If a defendent in a criminal case chooses not testify in their own defense that is not an admission of guilt. There is also executive privilige if the Democrats feel that testimoney from Trump or other's in that inner circle is this important they could have gone to the courts made their case and try and get ruling they had to testify they did not.
