Apparently, that doesn't work at John Doe hearings into political corruption.

But this should be interesting. We learned (a) that there is an ongoing John Doe probe that could involve political corruption or campaign law violations, and (b) that one of our most arrogant local pols, Senator Don-t-you-know-who-I-am Lena Taylor took the Fifth and refused to answer some questions from the DA because they might tend to incriminate her, (c) she has been granted immunity to compel her testimony.

As always, Taylor entertains:

Taylor later issued a statement that said, "As a lawyer bound to the Constitution and the law, as an officer of the court, as an elected state senator and as a citizen, I am bound to participate in any matter I am called into and cannot comment any further."

Well, that certainly explains why she didn't have to give a truthful answer under oath, doesn't it?
