17. I'm pretty sure he can plead the 5th and most likely it would be treated the same way

as in a civil case - that is, that he doesn't have to incriminate himself but the tribunal can draw a negative inference about it. Clark might find himself in an uncomfortable spot - assuming that what he did was an actual statutory crime and not just Trump-instigated Machiavellian fuckery. There might be some kind of conspiracy or fraud charge in there, considering that Clark tried to get Rosen to send Georgia election officials a letter that falsely claimed the DoJ had identified fraud, and threatened to get Trump to fire him if he refused. Bad stuff. I don't think Clark will ignore the House subpoena, so it will be interesting to see where this goes.
