When you say loophole, do you mean the fact you have no 5A right against self incrimination once you are grAnted immunity? Or something else?

[imwillofficial]

I was talking about holding people in contempt and jailing them for long periods of time.

[HWR_14]

You can not be held in contempt for invoking your 5th amendment rights when they apply. That's one of the things the fifth amendment protects against.

[imwillofficial]

Then why does it happen?

[HWR_14]

It doesn't. When has it in the past 50 years? (There were some violations during the 60s and earlier). You might find a counter example with some CIA involvement or something.

Like you cannot walk into a bank with a gun yelling 5th amendment and not go to jail. It's not blanket. It protects you from statements of self incrimination.

[imwillofficial]

Are you serious?

[HWR_14]

Yes. What's your counterexample?
