Democrats on the January 6 inquisition are setting up a massive and murky legal fight over executive privilege, legal experts and insiders told The Federalist.
House Democrats are using their January 6 inquisition to provoke a major court battle over executive privilege, multiple legal experts told The Federalist. At issue is whether a non-legislative congressional committee can pierce not just executive privilege, but also attorney-client privilege, of a former president, and grand jury secrecy requirements. While House Democrats have pushed the narrative to corporate media that it’s an open-and-shut case against former President Donald Trump, the reality is that many of the specific legal claims at issue have never been directly litigated or ruled on by the Supreme Court, while others have been decided in favor of those arguing for broader protection of records and communications covered by executive privilege, even for former presidents.
Democrats on the House’s January 6 investigative committee kicked off the fight last week by issuing a flurry of subpoenas of former Trump White House officials and then pushing a narrative to compliant corporate media that the decision of whether to recognize executive privilege belonged solely to current president Joe Biden. Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin, for example, went so far as to claim, without evidence, that there is “no such thing as a former president’s executive privilege.” The goal of this push, insiders say, is to bully the Biden White House into abandoning its own institutional interest in protecting executive privilege by handing over every last record demanded by House Democrats.
We are the only country that doesn’t have a secure border. With inflation and cost of living increasing at this pace retiree will be force to go back to work.
We’ll see a good lot attempts at presumptive ass covering in the next few years, some of it by laws that shouldn’t see the light of day.
yep fixed that and we will charge every POS president that comes out of office for the crimes he has committed . Bet that will spark some retired POS presidents and maybe some retire government officials
