#1 Glenn Simpson invokes the 5th protects against self-incrimination. Typically, people think someone who invokes the 5th is guilty of something. The 5th Amendment also guarantees the right to a grand jury. Perhaps, Simpson would prefer going before a grand jury.

#2 You would think that when the man behind this entire Russian Collusion thing wants to plead the fifth rather than discuss his sources, the entire Russian Collusion narrative comes apart. Time for Mueller to close up shop and go home. It's all false flag to me. The real collusion was running against Trump.

#6 As a rational argumentation construct

Which is why its way beyond the Donk (it's all about feelings) base.

#7 Comey gave out immunity to Hillary coterie like candy to the kids on Halloween. Suppose Simpson is offered immunity to testify about Fusion GPS, the DNC, Hillary and election rigging, the dossier and collusion. Is his testimony worth it?
