For the non-lawyers out there (and apparently that includes an awful lot of progressives and government supporters) ‘being a witness against yourself’ IS Self-Incrimination by definition. As to whether it is proof of guilt, that is debatable, but it clearly is not proof of innocence and since this is not a criminal case and he is not charged with any crime, it certainly gives the APPEARANCE of guilty knowledge on this witness’ behalf. By the way, all the Issa people have to do is offer him immunity for his testimony and he will no longer be able to ‘assert his rights’
