Wait, so besides diplomats, he also met with Putin?
Dummy, your loudmouth boss waived it when he blabbered about it on social media and to hapless Lester Holt. There is no executive privilege to invoke.
Premature invocation not happening with Sessions.
Can’t wait to watch our Keebler General refuse to answer any questions while sprinkling more white sugar on his 50-years-past-expiration cookies.
“I think it depends on the scope of the questions,” Spicer replied. “To get into a hypothetical at this point would be premature.”
That settles it, not only will he have Trump claim executive privilege, he’ll have a go at attorney-client privilege, take the fifth, and invoke a Masonic secrecy ritual, all with his fingers crossed behind his back after swallowing a quart of Acme “Anti Nose-Grow”.
The video is hilarious. Good job, Chuck.
I think it is up to the President to invoke it, not the witness.
Sessions can’t invoke “Executive Privilege.” The President (Hint, hint, Chief Executive) would have to invoke it on Sessions’ behalf.
All Sessions can invoke, independently, is the Fifth.
I would love to have Sessions be stupid enough to invoke executive privilege about questions regarding his meetings with Russian officials.
It would inadvertently demolish his “defense” that he met with them in his capacity as a Senator, not as part of the Trump campaign.
Of course that pre-supposes that he gets asked questions about that, and that he is dumb enough to invoke it.
The Republicans will ask about leaks, the lying media and if they need to kill more time who was your favorite Beatle.
In other words, “HINT HINT!!!” When will Donnie tell Sessions to “stay strong”?
@ralph_vonholst Not only is that video hilarious, it’s also clear how nauseating even parodying that kind of obsequiousness is for Chuck’s staff members.
Paul McCartney has done a better job of skating for 50 years on one 5 year burst of inspired creativity that anyone I can think of. At least Emily Brontë quit why she was ahead.*
*Of course dying early spared her the protracted career death throes we’ve witnessed from Sir Paul.
It depends on if the questioning is tough…
Obviously, questions from repubs will be softballs…
“Is it true Everybody Loves Fudge?”
He will decline tough questions and note privilege. To which Republicans will congratulate him for not being a leaker.
Ouch, What say you about Ringo then?
At least Paul brought a lot to the table during those years.
And pull Trump himself even more into the Russian meddling mess.
Pretty sure that’s covered under the GOP replacement for Obamacare.
Not this again.
I expect hagiography and a near obscene tongue-bathing by the GOP Senators.
Yeah I was gonna say - Emily didn’t exactly quit out of choice.
