Albert Einstein vs Joe McCarthy
An excerpt from "St. Joseph of Wisconsin"

"Einstein advised Russell, as he did others, to refuse to testify but not on the grounds of the Fifth Amendment. In this May 28, 1953, letter Einstein wrote that although invoking the Fifth Amendment was not "unjustified," the McCarthy hearings were not the circumstance it was meant for. "The 5th Amendment was adopted," he wrote, "in order to make it impossible for the judicial authorities to bring the accused to confess through means of extortion." He continued, "In the present cases, it is not a matter of violent extortion of the accused," but rather a "matter of using people as tools for the prosecution of others that one wants to label as ‘unorthodox.’"

(continued) "Invoking the Fifth Amendment was problematic, Einstein wrote, because "the individual is offered no legal middle ground for him to defend his actual rights." In closing, he pointed to a more "revolutionary" tactic—"non-cooperation, like Gandhi used with great success against the legal powers of the British Authorities."

Advising Communists to engage in contempt-of-court is itself contempt-of-court; and an act of treason. But Globalist agents puffed-up to the stature of Albert Einstein have long been above the law and beyond reproach.

Einstein the Red later made headlines by counseling fellow Jewish-Communist physicist Al Shadowitz to refuse to provide testimony at the McCarthy hearings—not by invoking the Fifth Amendment, but by asserting that any questioning of his loyalty or affiliations was a violation of the First Amendment

Again, Einstein, in advising Shadowitz to engage in contempt of Congress, himself committed a crime – or, at the very least, a subversive act which ought to have gotten his sloppy ass deported out of the United States. But ugly Albert was too much of a cultural icon. The Time Magazine “Man of the 20th Century” was untouchable.

December 16, 1953 Communist physicist Al Shadowitz (cough cough) became a celebrity of the Left when he, on Einstein's treasonous advice, contemptuously cited the "free speech" clause of the 1st Amendment, instead of the 5th, in order to thwart McCarthy.
