Takes some serious balls to be all boo-hoo at the funeral of one's ex, when one was paid to be a snitch against said ex. #Swartz

@timeoutcorner I've been acquainted with more than one person in the category being discussed & I'd like to know what you mean.

@Asher_Wolf At any rate, one apparently cannot plead 5th to a grand jury and not go to jail. That's what happened in Seattle w/ anarchists.

@Asher_Wolf Incorrect. Best you can say for her is that she is spineless and was bullied into testifying under immunity.

@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf Do they? All the document you sent me says is that she testified. Do you have any better than a png of a pdf?

@timeoutcorner @not_me @RoseBellitzia @Asher_Wolf I'm not doubting that the screencap is legit--i'm asking if you (or anyone) have context.

@timeoutcorner seems to me docs allow a pleading of the 5th, as @Asher_Wolf suggested & q implied. not sure why i ought to disbelieve that.

@hoosteen As noted to @Asher_Wolf, three people have pled the 5th to a grand jury in Seattle, and were inprisoned for their trouble.

@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf i'm well aware of leah, matt & katie. the abuse of grand jury procedure in witch hunts doesn't invalidate the 5th
hoosteenJustin Jacoby Smith
@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf I mean that based on what I know about those involved, I need more to believe incriminating testimony was bought.
hoosteenJustin Jacoby Smith
@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf And no, you don't get to smear "Amerikkka tortures" over your lack of evidence to suggest something substantive.

@hoosteen Grand juries can compell people to testify. Full stop. Either you testify or you go to jail when 'offered' immunity. @Asher_Wolf

@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf q's record as a journo alone speaks to her integrity, imo--implying croc tears w/o more evidence is questionable
hoosteenJustin Jacoby Smith
@timeoutcorner @Asher_Wolf Certainly not--but it builds a record of character that snitching would belie. I'd be surprised, is all I mean.

.@hoosteen I just have to get in the mood to slog through 603 pages of batshit crazy govspeak. And by mood, I mean get drunk. @Asher_Wolf

@Asher_Wolf In the dearth of actual information suggesting she wasn't the paid snitch the gov called her, I'm a bit at a loss here.

.@Asher_Wolf As an aside, I do not trust the word of anyone who writes for @WIRED and is also called a paid informant by the gov't.
