Default OT-Does it pay for Clemens to take the 5th?
Posted By: davidcycleback

A lawyer can't legally advise his client to lie to Congress. If they are law abiding, it wasn't Clemmens' lawyers idea that he lie to Congress. If the client can't tell specific truths due to the possibility of self incrimination, that's what the fifth is for.
