Originally published at: Dems Sound the Alarm Over Trump DOJ’s Attempt to Block Oversight: ‘He Knows Accountability Is Coming’
Top congressional Democrats on Tuesday pushed back on a new memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) arguing that President Donald Trump can assert executive privilege over communications with advisors even if they do not work at the White House or within the government at all. “Executive privilege can apply to presidential…
“This Mafia State Code of Silence has nothing to do with the American Constitution and it won’t stop Judiciary Dems from investigating this Administration’s rank corruption and using Congress’s powers to ensure disgorgement, restitution and justice for the rampant plunder of our government,” they added, hinting to possible investigations that may come if Democrats take control of the House.”
This is the crux of it right there. And the wording is good.

It’s hard to grift and graft with abandon when people are looking over your shoulder and asking messy questions.

The solution is obvious, impeach and convict, trump, blanche, vought, miller (if we can, I’m thinking not, just arrest him and throw away the key), and most of everyone else at the DoJ he’s nominated.
And every acting anything, give them 30 days notice to vacate or they get impeached.

Donnie acts like a two year old in part because his parents never said “NO!” and then led an entitled life where no one else said “NO!” His MAGAt enablers never said “NO!” Most of the SCOTUS never said “NO!” It is far, far past the time that the voters of this country say “NO!” to him over and over and over again. Come November, may it be so overwhelmingly!! His day of reckoning is coming, albeit too late. Take back our country from Donnie and his cabal.
There were DOJ observers at some polls here in MN. The State set up their own observers to ensure there was no funny business.
Observers watching the observers. This is what we’ve come to.

Trump is acting like a guy who knows bad is about to happen. He seems to be hunkering down.

It should not be lost on anyone that this will no doubt be used to claim privilege on communications between Trump and BLANCHE that were private and not otherwise covered by attorney-client privilege because the relationship had ended and the substance discussed was unrelated to representation or the provision of legal advice.

So the people at the Florida club that he casually asks for opinions from would also fall under executive privilege? That seems unduly expansive.
