Former national security adviser Michael Flynn plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and rebuff a Senate panel subpoena, Fox News confirms.
Flynn’s decision comes less than two weeks after the Senate intelligence committee issued a subpoena for Flynn’s documents as part of the panel’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.
Sources close to Flynn emphasized that the decision is not evidence of guilt or wrongdoing.
Experts say records can be viewed as testimony and that providing them could be seen as waiving Fifth Amendment constitutional protections.

Funny how the swooning dems forget all the Clintonistas who invoked the 5th with not a peep from them! John Koskinen (IRS), Paul Combetta, Brian Pagliano, Bill Thornton, Jeffrey Epstein . . .
MUCH worse crimes than Flynn is accused of!
He is just following his attorney’s advice. In this democratic obstructionist environment, I would do the same. Otherwise, anything he says could be used against him in the future. And, this does not mean he is guilty of anything.
