What violation? Taking the 5th does not make you innocent. It just allows
you to shut up if what you would say will incriminate you. I figure if
people are as innocent as they let on, they would not need to invoke the
5th. Sure, the was some call for blood, but mostly because of her
obstructionist ways. I don't think she or her lawyers handled it very well
from a publicity point of view.
