Right you are. But that then begs a second issue. When he joined the DOJ, he swore to uphold the law. If he’s now in possession of information re criminal wrongdoing on the part of others in the department, and he says nothing about it but instead seeks only to keep himself from prosecution, then his invoking the Fifth is itself, on one one hand, a kind of admission of guilt, and on the other hand a contemptible failure to satisfy his oath.
