Did you watch it? He's taking the 5th on stuff that he doesn't really need too.
Yeah, I wouldn't take Congress' word on that either. It seemed like a whole lot of "trust us, the DA won't use this against you! It's perfectly fine to answer this innocuous question!" to me.The trolling description is being applied because of the smirking, eye rolling, and comments like, "I'll take my counsels advice over yours."
But you're right, he totally can do that. But pleading the fifth while being a grinning twat, yeah I'd consider that trolling.
Boohoo. Poor Congress.

Does Congress deserve anything less? They're all in good company as far as I'm concerned.
Don't for a moment think that drug companies or health care spending will be reigned in. They'll have there fun little public witch hunt. The public will be whipped up into a lather. They'll have some pictures of him in handcuffs or something, the public vindicated, and the business of screwing Americans will continue unabated.
Truth. Preach it. Congress just sheds crocodile tears over stuff like this. There are only a handful of good people left there that I can count on my hand, like the brave Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. It's all accelerating towards... something, that's for sure.

I'm not sure why they call it trolling. It's called the Fifth Amendment. As much as our government likes to pretend it doesn't, the Constitution is actually valid for everyone, even asshats like Shkreli.
The FTC has a criminal case pending against him, so OF COURSE he isn't going to answer Congress' questions. Nobody would have.
Now the question is whether Congress will hold him in Contempt of Congress, but that hasn't happened too often.

I don't get this guy; is he literally a sociopath, or is he playing it up for some unknown scheme?
Either way I hope his shit leads to a crack down on pharmaceutical price gouging, as well as some serious prison time for more people than just him.
