The democrats are extremely wise they always take the fifth or respond that they don't recall. One should never help the prosecution make a case, they get paid, make them work for their living. They want notches on their belt, not to help lessen a defendants culpability. Always have your attorney speak for you, that's why they are called counsel and advocate. Getting out in front, deals with political jeopardy many voters will forgive, when your freedom is at stake the wise always let counsel speak for them.
