Meanwhile Barr is one vote closer to contempt in Constitutional crisis thanks to Trump's web of lies.
Trump cocksuckers continue to blithely ignore reality in what looks like the world's most severe case of mass hypnosis ever.
It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

Congress needs to send someone to seize the archives they require and dare the executive branch to stop them. Congress is a coequal branch of government and the executive has no right to hide anything from it.

"The term “executive privilege” was not used until the 1950s. The doctrine’s contours were unclear until a 1974 Supreme Court case. In U.S. v. Nixon, President Richard Nixon was ordered to deliver tapes and other subpoenaed materials to a federal judge for review. The justices ruled 9-0 that a president’s right to privacy in his communications must be balanced against Congress’ need to investigate and oversee the executive branch.
U.S. v. Nixon is also widely understood to mean that executive privilege cannot be used to cover up wrongdoing. That view was endorsed by current U.S. Attorney General William Barr during his Senate confirmation hearing.
One lesson of U.S. v. Nixon is that an executive privilege claim is particularly weak when Congress has invoked its power to remove a president from office through impeachment, said Frank Bowman, a law professor at the University of Missouri."
I must infer Trump wants to be impeached. Neither withholding an unredacted Mueller investigative report nor Trump's tax returns forwards
the executive branch's privacy in conversations with his advisors so that Dump can govern effectively. If it does, you'll need to explain that one.
I mean, if congress wanted to subpoena to Kissinger to disclose his discussions with Nixon weighing Vietnam options that would impinge
on that supposed needed candor, but these are Trump's taxes. That has zilch to do with policy, and the Mueller report? Fuck sake, the whole
purpose was for congress to find out. That's why it was fucking done so we could perhaps do something about electoral fraud by foreign gubmints.
This executive privilege claim is entirely frivolous and is interposed solely to stall past elections. Baseless stall tactic is simply further obstruction
of justice. Add a count to the indictment.

On June 20, 2012, President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege in order to withhold certain Department of Justice documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious controversy ahead of a United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt
