Even when the 5th Amendment is taken. Congress can grant immunity to those taking the 5th and once immunity is given that individual may be compelled to testify or be in held in CONTEMPT. Congress can JAIL THOSE IN CONTEMPT, until they testify... remember the New York Times reporter that refused to divulge her source and was cited for contempt and then jailed for several months. See:

We are witnessing another whitewash .. with a lot of verbiage and outrage but very little action to get to the 'criminal' elements of the investigation. There has been sufficient evidence and testimony provided to request a 'Special Prosecutor'. It is time to turn these hearings over for a 'Criminal' investigation. If that doesn't occur we will all know that this was just one more 'dog and pony' show in an attempt to placate the public... an effort to make it appear that the Congress is alive and doing their jobs.
IRS internal investigation ended 6 months before ’12 election
IRS tea-party bloodbath continues in Congress, as evidence emerges that IRS’s own internal probe ended in May 2012, six months before election, but was hidden from legislators
(Daily Mail) – Tempers flared in a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Wednesday, with members on both sides of the aisle castigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting conservative groups with special scrutiny, and then hiding the practice from Congress.
Rep. Darrel Issa, the committee’s chairman, said that the committee learned just yesterday that the IRS completed its own investigation a year before a Treasury Department Inspector General report was completed.
But despite the IRS recognizing in May 2012 that its employees were treating right-wing groups differently from other organizations, Issa said, IRS personnel withheld those conclusions from legislators.
‘Just yesterday the committee interviewed Holly Paz, the director of exempt organizations, rulings and agreements, division of the IRS,’ Issa said. ‘While a tremendous amount of attention is centered about the Inspector General’s report, or investigation, the committee has learned from Ms. Paz that she in fact participated in an IRS internal investigation that concluded in May of 2012 – May 3 of 2012 – and found essentially the same thing that Mr. George found more than a year later.’
