does anyone think trump will invoke executive privilege?

[spanone]

He fired Comey, why not muzzle him too?

1. He can try.

But the Orange Umpaloompa has been tweeting out so much shit he can't claim it's all classified, he's declassified it by tweeting.

4. Bingo!

[Phoenix61]

2. From what I've read

he could but it wouldn't cover whether he pressured Comey to drop the Flynn/Russia conversation because he has already talked about it. Executive privilege is to keep private, sensitive info out of the public and he already put it out there.

[RDANGELO]

3. No, the info is already out and most people believe it.

This will give the Republicans a chance to go after the integrity of Comey.

[Kablooie]

5. Latest reports say he won't try.

So he'll probably try.

[spanone]

6. precisely. logic flies out the window with this nutcase

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. He waived it when he discussed Comey's firing publicly

And you can't use any kind of privilege to hide criminal behavior. Even attorney-client privilege can be pierced in that instance.

[malaise]

8. He can't given his tweets on the subject

although I dare him - indeed double dare him

[spanone]

9. that's precisely why he might do it!!! he's the ultimate abbie normal

[GallopingGhost]

10. Anyone who has never seen this movie

watch it immediately. One of the best comedies ever!

[bigtree]

11. I think he wants to

...probably trying to engineer something, but I don't think he'll find the support for that among folks who would actually be tasked to press that claim.
