No One is above the law

stones has already had 1 pardon from toxic trump.....

Still should assert it at a public hearing.

Will someone, just someone, have the guts to prosecute someone for all of these crimes. Enough already!!!

Stone was with the terrorist groups earlier that morning of the terrorist attack on the nations capital

He can plea the 5th all he wants, the guilty always gets what they deserve

A class act

Like trump said, only guilty people take the 5th.

The TPLF terrorist group performing various image settings; They say they were beaten in the air and have completed their preparations to demolish the Axum monument.

He’s allowed to obviously, but I kinda feel like this is admitting you did illegal things so now they’re going to dig it all up.

Well of course, as Trump said himself, “If you are innocent, why are you taking the fifth?”. Is it possible that Trump supporters possibly believe that all of these people either refusing to cooperate or are taking the fifth are innocent? No one can be that naive? All guilty!

Guilty as sin! ArrestTheSeditionists

Lock them up till they talk.

Individuals that are accused of insurrection should not be permitted use the 5th amendment. It is a means of criminals against democracy and the constitution to avoid absolute unbiased justice.

And the woke idiots in the media will soon find out that Stone is indeed protected, by the 5th ammendment.

TrumpianChickenshitCulture. FuckRogerDrone. 🖕😑🖕

Treason & incitement to over run Election should over rule the right to silence off to so black hole until yap yap happens. Attack on America & Americans should be treated fairly domestic or foreign

Professional criminals. They know they can play the courts and drag this out past the 2022 midterms and walk free.

Another guilty man!

Can we not just leave a trail of bills that lead him to fall into a Star Wars-esque garbage chute?

When the republicans take the house, they should set up a Summer 2020 Commission that looks into Democrat involvement in the riots that burned down our crown jewel cities that summer. He's afraid of Trump.
