President Trump's past comments slamming those who plead the Fifth Amendment quickly resurfaced Wednesday after Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen said he would assert his Fifth Amendment rights in Stormy Daniels's lawsuit filed against him and Trump.

"The mob takes the Fifth," Trump said at one campaign rally in September 2017. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"

He was largely targeting former staffers for Hillary Clinton who pleaded the Fifth during the investigation into her use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.

Trump also called staffers pleading the Fifth "disgraceful" and "a bigger deal than Watergate" at different points during the campaign. The president, however, pleaded the Fifth during his divorce from his first wife Ivana Trump in 1990 to avoid answering questions about adultery.

10. Locking - the hosts feel this is not important news of national interest

It's people saying they know what Trump said about the Fifth Amendment before. His comments hadn't been lost or anything like that.
