Kailee ♾️🇺🇦 Vote Midterms<p>Insurrectionist Kashyap Patel invoked the Fifth Amendment privilege to avoid self-incrimination during legal proceeding related to the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/January6th" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>January6th</span></a> insurrection and related criminal investigations. The Fifth Amendment can be invoked to avoid Self-Incrimination, to refuse to answer questions or provide testimony that will incriminate them in a crime. He pled the 5th to avoid giving the prosecution evidence that would be used against him in criminal prosecutions that could lead to Patel's conviction.
