Miss. Sloane

Last night, I watched "Miss. Sloane", a movie about a female lobbyist. The story was really exciting but I don't write about it because I don't want to spoil it before you watch it. In the movie, the main character is intellectual and speaks too fast. Thus, I almost couldn't understand what she says without Japanese subtitles. I wonder if native English speakers can completely catch it, and I want to be able to do so.
Besides, I like the following phrase that she said many times.
"Upon the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to answer your question, based on my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution." I didn't know the Fifth Amendment is about the right to silence, and I knew "take the fifth" means to keep silent.

The ideas in this sentence are very different, so to sound more natural they should be split apart into separate sentences.

Besides, I liked the following phrase that she said many times.

"Upon the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to answer your question, based on my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution."

I didn't know the Fifth Amendment iwas about the right to silence, andeven though I knew "take the fifth" means to keep silent.

Didn't means the following "is" should be in the past tence, "was".

Thank you so much!

I would say "I won't write too much about it" or "I'm not writing too much about it"
