(14,556 posts)they can not take the 5th. If they lie during testimony, new charges.
Another thing trump realize is these lying to the FBI charges are a plea deal. They did much worse.
What Manafort doesn't realize is other countries can bring him up on charges. Their justice systems are not like ours. Ukraine has an interest in him for taking money from Yanukovych's government. Rumors of money laundering for him and other Putin loyalist from there.

(3,608 posts)would bring me little comfort. I think when the full force of the law and government is in front of you....you will crack unless you are a pro. Hicks can withstand that? I think I'd go with the sure thing and that would be cooperating with the Gov't. RUMP is hoping a lot of folks are going to keep quiet and chances are that they all won't.
