Either what she did is not illegal, as the guy who just resigned claims, or it is illegal and she'll plead the Fifth. If it's NOT illegal, then can she plead the 5th without being in contempt of Congress?
Actually, since this isn't a trial (yet), can she plead the fifth at all? I'm thinking yes, since the fifth would be somewhat toothless if it only applied to actual trials, but I've been wrong before.
Yes. Claiming the 5th before Congress happen frequently. Ticks off the committees but there's not a whole lot they can do about it.
