House committee unlikely to interview Ghislaine Maxwell after her lawyer said she wouldn't answer questions

11. Hauling her in for questioning could indeed be extremely useful

She's already been convicted of perjury, so why would you automatically believe anything she said - including the claim she would plead the fifth to every question - that statement wasn't even made under oath. SHe very well could be lying about that in order to try to avoid being put into a very uncomfortable situation. She can only legally plead the fifth to protect herself against self incrimination. She could not legally refuse to answer questions about other people just to protect them. Having to answer questions about other people would likely open her up to additional perjury charges (if she lies) or put her in danger (if she tells the truth).
