That's why they're invoking it. Bc defendants provided two reasons to believe Singh would be involved: 1) Bc the misconduct w/the grand jury is precisely what he was pressuring people to do. 2) Bc of his role in Kilmar Abrego's case.

If Paul felt that strongly that the pardon covered any testimony that might be elicited from Dr. Fauci at the hearing, he could have recessed and sought a court determination of whether the 5th Amend would apply or be moot due to the Pardon, and get an order to testify. Paul did not do so. He loses.
Who TF is Rand Paul to order anyone to do anything. Did he order Kevin McCarthy or Jim Jordan to make themselves available for their subpoena and to answer questions? Did he order Rick Scott to answer questions during his trial? #USDemocracy www.courier-journal.com/story/news/p...

To all @democrats.org First bill I want to see out of the Caucus early next spring? Put Solar panels overhead ALL parking lots with over 10 spaces, nationwide. Put charging stations at each one of them from the power collected. #ClimateCatastrophe is coming unless we DO SOMETHING NOW
UK is getting record energy from solar. That's where government money needs to go. Add battery storage & we get a solution to emissions and energy costs. Forget nuclear and no more drilling. Legislate all buildings & carparks to be covered in panels. We can do it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.
Here’s the key takeaway from our report: Epstein couldn’t have carried out his trafficking and criminal activity without the help of the highest ranking employees and executives at the most powerful banks in the world. Wall Street is complicit in Epstein’s crimes from top to bottom.
Additionally, Epstein accomplices Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn and Harry Beller moved significant amounts of cash around the world in order to finance Epstein’s operations. All three former Epstein employees should be investigated for the key role they played in Epstein’s sex trafficking.
My investigators compiled a list of individual employees at JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank, the behavior of which merits investigation by federal prosecutors. That list includes:
Epstein made millions in direct payments to women and young girls out of just one JPMorgan account. Many of these payments were to women in high-risk countries like Belarus, Lithuania, and Russia.
