Fusion GPS Officials Plead the Fifth Rather Than Answer Who Paid for the Trump Dossier

From Washington Examiner:

Two top officials with Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the so-called "Trump dossier," appeared before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, but invoked their Fifth Amendment rights and didn't answer questions, according to a lawyer who represents them. 

Peter Fritsch and Thomas Catan, two partners in Fusion GPS, presented themselves to the committee to satisfy a subpoena, but went no further, as was expected.  

Fusion's lawyer, Josh Levy, called the use of a subpoena an "indignity." 

"This disparate treatment is an abuse of power and unethical," Levy continued in a statement. 

"Nor is it a necessary tool for Congress to use in order to obtain information. Even the Senate Watergate Committee spared witnesses this indignity."

In other words, "Yeah, we were paid to scam the public, and to help evil men subvert the Democratic election, in order to perform a silent coup against the Will of the People. So what?
