Tareq and Michaele Salahi appeared before Congress today to testify about their security breach at the White House state dinner in November, but repeatedly invoked the 5th Amendment, which protects against self-incrimination. Facing the House Committee on Homeland Security, Tareq Salahi refused to answer each question on advice of his counsel. "I don't respect your right to take the 5th Amendment," said Rep.
