not to testify against themselves if they do show up. But they have to plead the 5th as to particular questions - they can't use it as an excuse not to appear.

Plead the 5th. It’s their right so hopefully nothing.

Not show up, that should lead to a contempt citation.

Everytime they open their mouths in public, remind them how they don't mind talking as long as they're not under oath.
