Jay Bratt, the former top Justice Department national security division prosecutor who worked the case against convicted felon President Trump for having stolen classified documents from the White House and kept them in a bathroom among other places in his chintzy Florida mansion/whorehouse after defying a lawful subpoena for their return, pleaded the Fifth in a Wednesday deposition with spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee, CNN reports.

“This administration and its proxies have made no effort to hide their willingness to weaponize the government against those they perceive as political enemies” Bratt’s spokesman Peter Carr told CNN. “That should alarm every American who believes in the rule of law. In light of these undeniable, deeply troubling circumstances, Mr Bratt has no choice but to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.”

Still not the greatest look but Bratt surely had his reasons when being peppered with what were no doubt the most insane fucking questions that only a terminally pilled, desiccated brain like Gym’s could spittle out. Then there’s also that pleading the Fifth was bad, then in 2022 it wasn’t, making it hard for the MAGA cult to make it bad again. Not like they won’t try. It’ll just look more stupid than it did had Trump not changed his tune on the constitutional amendment at his convenience.

“I once asked, ‘If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’ Now I know the answer to that question. When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice,” said the fat fuck after doing so no fewer than 440 times in an August 2022 deposition with New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s office.
