Can you explain "taking the fifth" versus "contempt of court", which as I understand, is a "jail worthy" offence. Does taking the fifth in effect means he can skate thru this deposition without answering or consequence?

Perhaps if New York doesn't pass the rule change to allow for prosecution after a presidential pardon, Cohen can get out of testifying about Fergus himself, should he receive a pardon. That doesn't mean he won't be convicted, just that he won't have to testify.

Taking the Fifth is asserting your right not to incriminate yourself. Contempt of court means you've pissed off the judge.
And if you refuse to testify without citing the 5th, you’ll piss off the judge bada-bing!
DA, I’m pretty sure that outside of frivolous use of your “rights”, exercising the Fifth won’t get you tossed for Contempt.
Note that denying a lawyer is your representative kinda squwicks the whole privilege thing that Cohen was banging on about...but Fox and Friends called and Donnie answered.
Please re-read what I wrote.
