This is amazing
Executive privilege is not a Constitutional right.Tribalism isn't but constitutional rights are.
Maybe you are correct but we can only assume because unlike the oversight committees for Clinton and Nixon, this committee didn't bother with the court before moving to criminal proceedings. In a move unprecedented in American history AFAIK, this Congress has declared themselves the arbiters over what is and is not covered by executive or fifth amendment privileges.Clinton attempted to invoke Executive Privilege to stop his staff from testifying in the Monika Lewinski investigation. He was overruled in court
...
Nixon attempted to block the release of the tapes that lead to his resignation. ... The Supreme Court stated...
...
If both of those cases resulted in the Executive Branch providing the requested information then I can only assume that the Jan. 6th insurrection case would be a slam dunk for those seeking the information.
LOL.
I think the fact that Republicans in Congress, Republicans from Fox News, and Donald's own son were pleading with Meadows to get Trump to end the Jan 6 insurrection blow up the GOP talking points we've been fed for almost one year:
1. "aNtIfA!"- If ANTIFA had actually instigated Jan 6, why would Republicans want Trump to stop it? I remember @One Brow arguing with @jazzy and @Archie Moses about Ali Alexander and how ANTIFA instigated Jan 6. If so, why would Frau Ingraham say this?
Why would propaganda minister Brian Kilmeade say this?
Why would Sean Hannity say this?
2. Jan 6 was merely a rally about election integrity that got out of hand- The most laughable of all. Trump said this:
And further said:
Wasn't involved? Why was everyone texting you? Nothing to hide? Well you and your cohorts sure went to great lengths to hide these texts. It's noticeable that Laura said this about Jan 6 on her show later in the evening:
Why would she blame antifa? She wouldn't be covering something up, would she?
3. Jan 6 was actually a heroic day- Trump Jr. to Meadows:
If this day is so heroic, why didn't Hannity ask Meadows about it last night when he had him on the show?

Fox News Hosts Sent Texts to Meadows Urging Trump to Act as Jan. 6 Attack Unfolded
Afterward, on their shows, Laura Ingraham spread the false claim of antifa involvement, and Sean Hannity referred to the 2020 election as a “train wreck.”www.nytimes.com
Sure Archie, my memory is the one that sucks.![]()
Utah activist in Capitol riot sold his video to CNN, NBC for $35K each, court docs say
A Utah man who faces federal criminal charges for his alleged actions during the U.S. Capitol riot sold video of the incursion to major news outlets for thousands of dollars.www.ksl.com
More news about that anti fascist dude John Sullivan.
35k is a lot of money but was it worth the charges?
30 pieces of silver or something like that.
“bUt AnTiFa!”What position did I take, you clown?
I posted about how bizarre it was a Utah Antifa guy was actually dressed up like a Trumper and stormed the Capitol so you automatically short circuit and think that's a position and I'm alt right?
You're so dumb it's gawd damn adorable.
That happened, moron.“bUt AnTiFa!”
I pointed out how random it was that the Antifa guy from Utah showed up to the riots.Sure Archie, my memory is the one that sucks.
Sullivan isn’t antifa. But Archie sure seems dedicated to blaming antifa at least partially for Jan 6…
John Sullivan isn’t antifa.

Fact check: Misleading claim about 'antifa member' at Jan. 6 Capitol riot
News outlets paid roughly $90,000 to use John Sullivan's footage from Jan. 6, but he is not a "known antifa member."www.usatoday.com
And there we go. More antifa at the Capitol on Jan 6.That happened, moron.
Do you deny reality?And there we go. More antifa at the Capitol on Jan 6.
Sigh
This is why we can’t have nice things.
