Biden Tells Flynn And Navarro He’s Not Granting Them Executive Privilege

President Joe Biden continues to swat down ex-President Donald Trump and his cronies’ efforts to stonewall the House Jan. 6 Committee’s investigation, this time focusing on former Trump adviser-turned-QAnon grifter Michael Flynn and ex-Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro.

This. The GQP is going to find themselves cash-strapped and bot-poor coming into the midterms.

Navarro’s response to Su was reportedly more acerbic, complaining that it was “fanciful and dangerous to assert that a sitting president can revoke the Executive Privilege of his predecessor”

Peter, Peter, Peter. Not the executive. Has no such privilege. This is not rocket science. You may now fuck off to the Supreme Court if you wish.

Assuming I am reading the Biden ms correctly, executive privilege is not being ‘revoked,’ it is being denied, as in not operative under the circumstances. Not a small distinction IMO, particularly if the circumstances are not only temporal but criminal.

But Petey-boy: a guy who is not the actual President HAS NO EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. It isn’t a lifetime thing, like being an Article III judge.

I hope he sent Michael Cohen to deliver the note.

Flynn and Navarro need to be crushed like bugs under a steel-toed workboot and ground into the gravel until they are a goopy mess.

Ron Vara is an unfunny clown, a joke without a punchline, and like many of Hamilton Burger’s questions, incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial.

COOL!

Biden has essentially said:

"NOPE … SORRY - I have zero fear of anything you two assholes may say or know - and am entirely OK with you testifying UNDER OATH - being compelled to divulge ANYTHING - - GOT THAT? … ANYTHING … and UNDER OATH …

… OH and if you LIE about anything UNDER OATH … I’m entirely OK with you never breathing a breath of un-incarcerated air for the rest of your lives."

… of course I figure they will then resort to claiming the 5th for everything beyond stating their own names - and could see them being jackasses and try to even do that just to make more of a circus out of things.

Alias Ron Vara might have to invoke the 5th about his name(s) as well.

Hamilton Burger was obviously smitten by Della Street. That’s why he always seemed distracted.
