The founder's knew what they were doing when the wrote the 5th.
It should surprise no one that in the rare event the police, prosecutors or judges are arrested they ALWAYS ask for a lawyer first and say nothing.
These are the people who actually understand how the system works and can expect some sympathy from those they talk to. If they need a lawyer, you can be damn sure you do also.
I hate it when I read articles where the journo makes some idiotic statement like "he was hiding behind the fifth,' or "he was coaching him to "play it cool" when he told him to get a lawyer and not talk."
With so many authoritarians in the media, it's amazing we have any Constitution left at all.
