Answering as he did was irresponsible.
"I invoke my legal right to silence under the 5th amendment and will not answer any questions without legal council"
This is Trump speak.
Like, Trump literally (in the literal sense of literally) made this point.
Pigs aren't an audience and aren't there to be convinced. They are there to gather intel. There are Jan 6ers working for ICE. Don't do their jobs for them.
I agree with you that the best thing to do to protect yourself is to remain silent and request to speak with your lawyer, but Hasan made a bet that his privilege would protect him and engaged with the CBP agent to get information he could report on later. He talks about it in his video about the incident.
It sets a terrible example towards his audience.
