Executive Privilege

Does anyone else remember what happened when it looked like Eric Holder was going to get implicated–which he clearly was–in “Fast and Furious”, which is to say, a policy developed by Obama and Holder to tolerate and even encourage mass murder in the hopes it would help support gun control efforts?  I do.  Obama invoked “Executive Privilege”.  By habit, and perhaps by law too, Congress cannot get at the private deliberations of a sitting President.  The argument, and it is a sound one, is that if the President has to be continually worried about speaking out loud, about a record which may wind up in the public domain, he cannot do his job effectively.  Until now, both parties have respected this, albeit often while grumbling, with much justification in some cases, as with Holder, who is nearly certainly complicit in the murders of hundreds of people.

But if Cohen was the “President’s Lawyer”, and if they discussed, as they presumably did, how to deal with the Mueller Inquisition, not only lawyer/client confidentiality is dead, but so too is Executive Privilege.  The Democrats, and their attack arm, the fully partisan and politically weaponized FBI, have completely forgotten any bounds of propriety, as well as the literal rule of law, in their obsession to crush Trump.

I say again, that all people concerned with the preservation of our  Constitutional Republic should shudder looking at this fiasco, no matter their politics.  Alan Dershowitz, who has been a lifetime and hard core Democrat, has said point blank that this is a very, very dangerous precedent, and by implication, that it should be walked back, if there remain any legal scholars with a shred of principle and intelligence in this country in a position to do something.

And you KNOW that the FBI–which received permission to review everything today from a New York Democrat judge–is going to copy everything for future use, possibly as leaks.  Not everything they find will be ruled admissable, or even showable to investigators and prosecutors, but they will keep it all.  A rule may technically exist which indicates they must return what they can’t use, but THE FUCKING HEAD OF THE FUCKING FBI IS ON RECORD AS LEAKING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.  The motherfucker is in fact on tour, trying to sell a book, where he talks about how he is taller than Trump, that Trump uses a tanning booth, and that Trump for some reason dislikes open hostility and insubordination among those who report to him, directly, or indirectly.

What low is not possible for such an organization, in such a world?  What is not possible in such a world, filled with so many stupid, stupid people?
