Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights

I’ve never before heard of anybody claiming any rights other than the 5th when answering a question.

The sixth amendment is:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

The “assistance of counsel” part seems to make sense when being questioned, if he didn’t already have a lawyer present. But, the rest of that seems unrelated to answering a question.

Cop: “Were you with Trump at the child-raping party?”

Epstein: “I assert the right to a speedy trial!”

As for the 14th, that’s the one currently in the news because Trump wants to strip citizenship:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

That’s also a very weird one to plead. Talking about your citizenship in an interview like that seems irrelevant.

Cop: “Was it just Trump who was raping kids, or were you doing it too?”

Epstein: “I assert the right to due process!”

Cop: “Yes… this questioning is your due process. That’s what’s happening here.”

I wonder why he didn’t claim others. 4th seems more relevant than 14th, for example. 8th is also useful if they want to put you in jail. At least he didn’t invoke the 27th
