The Select Committee is not asking for blood, or money, or the first born.

They are only asking for information.

But from the reactions of the "former leader of the free world", one might think they are asking for all of the above?

It is time to put the lies aside. The people deserve to know the truth. To fight the information that can get to the facts of 1/6 is to fight against the truth. To claim some sort of "executive privilege" is an affront to common sense.

Under the circumstances, the seriousness of the attack upon our Capitol, there would be no "executive privilege", even if Donald Trump was still sitting in the White House, when there is a criminal investigation. (There may be political opportunism) There is no type of "privilege" for those that commit treason or sedition against our country.
