THREAD on VANKY and JUNIOR's MOTION TO QUASH: Just finished recording @aisle45pod for this Wednesday where Andrew and I break down the trump's motion to quash Tish James' subpoenas, and here's an interesting idea: 1/
The trumps contend that her subpoena in the civil case is an end run around their right to a grand jury indictment because civil cases don't have grand juries, and if they plead the 5th, that allows for an "adverse inference instruction." 2/
That means pleading the fifth can be used against you in a civil case, but it can't be used against you in a criminal case. So that's the "harm" they're arguing; that pleading the fifth could be used against them. 3/
So all @TishJames has to do in her opposition to quash is say that she won't give an adverse inference instruction (she won't use pleading the fifth against them). Blows apart their entire argument. Listen to us go over it in detail on @aisle45pod this Wednesday. END
