Ace is actually....correct for the most part. I believe I actually understand his position now, and it makes sense.
1) Investigations at this point have failed to prove anything Illegal.
2) If there were illegal activities, they do not exist until proven.
3) No guilty party is likely to be forthcoming in incriminating itself.
4) The nature of these investigations make it compelling to plead the 5th or forget, rather than risk prosecution for perjury.
5) The actions of the Administration are completely understandable in this context, regardless of guilt or innocence.
He has a very valid position, and if any of us were to honestly evaluate what position we would hold if we were supportive of the Administration the stance Ace holds would be a very good one to have. From a strictly legal standpoint, the actions of the White House are acceptable. It is only from a deep distrust, and dislike of being lied to that they can be faulted.
