General Discussion

When a defendant takes the fifth in a criminal trial, there should be no inference of guilt to be assumed.

Yet, when that same defendant takes the fifth in a civil trial, in which no criminal charges are made and no incarceration is at stake, a juror can make an adverse inference of defendant's refusal to testify.

So, it would seem quite appropriate that, as a voter, I can make that same adverse determination when evaluating that person about whether or not to trust him with the Presidency.
