11/ I say it's "irrelevant in Trump's case" because *Trump isn't a defendant*. He's merely a witness. And witnesses who've been subpoenaed to testify can't issue a blanket refusal to answer questions pursuant to the Fifth Amendment—they must do so on a question-by-question basis. — PolitiTweet.org

10/ For a prosecutor to get testimony from a person they've charged who's now taken the Fifth, they must grant them immunity (there are a few other obscure scenarios in which it might be possible, but for our purposes immunity is the main one, though irrelevant in Trump's case). — PolitiTweet.org

12/ Having said this, if a prosecutor thinks a person they haven't charged with a crime is likely to *validly* plead the Fifth in response to almost *any* question the prosecutor would hope to ask, the prosecutor may excuse the witness from pleading the Fifth before a grand jury. — PolitiTweet.org
