Thing is, when they rudely plea the fifth and brush the inquiries aside, they go back to their government paychecks and still maintain various police powers to retaliate. Even regular patrol officers who screwed up somehow are almost always immediately terminated upon any refusal to submit to questioning about anything they did. In fact in most of their employment contracts, a refusal to answer questions is considered a defacto notice of resignation. Apparently not so with prosecutors who consider themselves even several steps above those laws.

An ordinary citizen even asks for a lawyer to be present during questioning usually involves a trip to jail, strip searching, restricted food and water for a few days, then maybe a beating or two, a meeting with a disinterested public defender, and then a couple of nice detectives show up to "discuss your options".

Yeah, save the names for a revolutionary tribunal. Mr blowtorch will be able to extract the truth, guaranteed.
