Trump admits guilt by exerting "executive privilege"

FUCK THE POLICE

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.

"Withholding evidence"
"Impeding an investigation"
"Impeding an investigation"
Yes, Snowflake. Holder withheld evidence and impeded an investigation.
"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.

Those with nothing to hide…hide nothing.
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

So can Trump demand Congressional records of Congress to have oversight of them?

And Barr is probably laughing his ass off at the karma right now. Look, I might be with you on this if gonad-ler had even looked at the 98% un-redacted version of the Mueller report that he was authorized to see, but only 12 congress critters have looked at it, and they’re all republicans! There are the names of innocent people under those black rectangles, and congress is leakier than a Haitian refugee boat! And 2 MILLION
Pages of “evidence”? Why do the demorats think they can be more efficient conducting oversight, legislating, campaigning, AND handling a do-over of the mueller investigation? Not to mention, a lot of people that were promised protection under the last administration are now being investigated themselves(by AG Barr
oh the irony!)Nancy, go-nadler, chucky and the rest are going to be doing some real fancy tap dancing!PoliTalker

Hello Callinectes Ocasio-Cortez,
More like trembling in his boots waiting for the hammer to drop. Barr is in an impossible situation - he's working for Trump. Donald Trump has absolutely no qualms at all over sacrificing people to protect himself.
President Trump's administration is completely strewn with the wreckage of political careers. They come, they try to lend him some credibility, and they either fall on their swords or get fired because they won't break the law for him.

There is no congressional privilege doctrine vis a vis the President of which I am aware.
And the potus has the highest security clearance so that wouldn't work either.
Truth is the Constitution does not mention executive privilege either, that doctrine was just carved
out by judicial "activism", but we sure don't hear he hypocrites complain, do we.
Can you believe we have to live in a world with President Trump? I mean seriously? I have to pinch myself
every day to know this is real. President ….Trump. LMFAO
Why not President Dr Doolittle or President Colonel Sanders or President Pee Wee Herman or President Jenna Jamison
This country is a fucking joke.
wha! wha! Rune needs his diapers changed
