I fully appreciate the importance of the fifth...

I thought I'd made clear (guess I didn't) as the most prominent in the public's eye seem to always be the downright questionable/probably guilty taking the fifth as per HRC's minions, gansters, etc.

You simply never hear about a prominent and highly regarded person or persons by the public taking the fifth.

That was my only point.

From what you guys tell me, there are no 'outstanding' examples (to speak of lately, lately being in the last 50+ years, of those considered reasonably innocent by the public, taking the 5th.

It sounds like the vast majority (no, not all...) but the vast majority of those taking the 5th are scalawags, rapscallions and scoundrels.

Are there any cases where someone other than a gangster or other miscreant took the fifth and the majority of law abiding citizens would say, he/she's a good person and this is an example of some persecuted, innocent needing to take the fifth and good for them?

At this point, as far as I can recall, only questionable, (read, mostly dirtbags) take the fifth.

Anyone have a good example of a good person taking the fifth?
