1. i was wondering about this

if she is called to testify she has to show up or she faces contempt charges. if she wants to plead the 5th she has to show up. just because she said she`s was going to plead the 5th does`t mean they won`t call her.so i hope they call her and ask her many questions so she has to plead the 5th to every question just like the mob guys did during those congressional hearings....

2. Shows how much law she learned at Pat Robertsons law school.

She can invoke the 5th to keep from incriminating herself. She still has to testify, or be held in contempt.
