Q Mr. Stone, assuming that you wrote this blog post and that the words contained in it are the truth, is it your position that, by writing this blog post, you exposed yourself to potential criminal prosecution?

A I respond to answer your question once again on the basis of my Fifth Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.

 . I'll pause to see if any members have followup questions on that line.

Mr. Raskin. I'd like to ask Mr. Stone whether you believe that coups are allowed in our constitutional system.

The Witness. I most definitely decline to respond to your question based on my Fifth Amendment constitutional protections with all due respect. Therefore, I will not answer the question on the basis of the Fifth Amendment.

Mr. Raskin. Do you believe violent insurrections are allowed in our constitutional system?

The Witness. I respectfully decline to answer your question on the basis of my Fifth Amendment rights.

Mr. Raskin. Do you believe fascist street violence is allowed in our constitutional system?

The Witness. I respectfully decline to answer your questions based on my Fifth Amendment rights.

Mr. Raskin. I yield back.

 . Thank you, Mr. Raskin.
