He was never a good attorney. Finds ways to justify torturing, but thanks I’m normal assertion of executive privilege is somehow unprecedented. This is the Bush Administration in action again.

what about the New Jersey and New York AGs harassing his business and families? Isn’t that unprecedented?

Would he have a problem with waterboarding Schiff? Or only with refusing subpoenas?

He’s a low-quality attorney. Mostly famous for using sophistry and word games to justify torture. But a president exerting executive privilege, which will be litigated up to the Supreme Court is somehow unprecedented.

Oh, well... there you go. Some dumb-ass leftist “professor” doesn’t like that Trump is no longer going to allow himself to be attacked. That’ll teach ‘em.

Didn’t Obama refuse to give up emails between himself and Holder by claiming executive privilege? Do these guys think we just forget the years before Trump?

“It would be extraordinary if the president actually were to try to stop all congressional testimony on subpoenaed issues.”

Oh please, this is a fraudulent witchhunt.

Watch all of the contempt from the Democrats when they are investigated. Even now, the Rats are trying to obstruct investigation into their crimes by getting Barr removed.

I hope you know my comment wasn’t directed toward you. It was to the subject in the article.

The attack on a sitting president like the Democratic stalkers is unprecedented.
