Zhe has no right to take the 5th, since zhe has already been convicted of that crime.
Is zhe trying to protect Assange, or just being stupid?
You also need to factor in the reality that Ohr(s) are black hats.
So they are lying to protect themselves and Brennan's network of spooks in DOJ/FBI.
AND lying to throw other people under the bus.
tl;dr - don't believe ANYTHING Ohr has to say about ANYONE.
Because Ohr is a criminal.
The ethics of this alone are enough to show he shouldn't have been at the top of the DOJ.
