Speak carefully

Trust in the federal government has been on the decline since the Viet Nam War and for the past 30 years has hovered about 25%. With all the investigations going on today the question about testifying under oath has taken on serious repercussions and I am reminded of a speech I attended at the University of North Dakota by famous lawyer F. Lee Bailey. His closing line was, just remember when you go to court whether you are innocent of guilty has nothing what so ever to do with the verdict. To further emphasis the point just google the right to remain silent and you will find many examples of how the words of innocent people were twisted and convicted them. That is why the Fifth Amendment gives us the right not to incriminate ourselves. Today some conservatives are criticizing the FBI and liberals are criticizing ICE. I say go for it.
