Yeah, I don't care if it was Hussein, W, Clinton, Reagan, or even Lincoln or Washington.... Executive order doesn't supersede the Constitution. Executive privilege only applies to confidential information from the time when in office. Everything from when Trump "was" in office, is protected. So even if not in office right now, whatever was sealed them remains confidential. However if he's not in office now, then he can't just claim "executive privilege" to avoid being subpoenaed... granted if the subpoena involves anything from when he was in office, then privilege would still apply. I don't know about extending privilege to anyone else from the administration though... as far as I can recall, it's only ever applied to the Executive himself, not the entire branch.
I concur with Separation of Powers, but this concept of Executive Privilege was only originally intended to cover the President, and arguably certain executive officers (cabinet, ambassadors etc). Problem is that the Executive branch has grown (mostly illegally) into a behemoth, theoretically including thousands of "executives" if you include all of the (again, mostly illegal) agencies.
Well, former POTATUS "Bathhouse Barry" is said to have ran a shadow government during Trumps term, but the only privilege he invoked was from his white half
I think being a previous President he retains some amount of immunity. Dems are trying to rewrite laws to change that. I would assume this is what is meant.
They are using the George Floyd incident to get sympathy to end the immunity Clause. To go after Trump. It covers Police and Government officials. They are rats to the end.
A brand new news channel on air TV, Newsy, has joined the damned dems in projecting all the evil of the lefts crimes onto Trump...They advertise as a news org of both sides of the issue... Nah, just a cheap charly imitation of CNN..
If newsmarx is controlled opposition and wholly owned by the deep state media, they are doing a crappy job letting this guy be on the air championing President Trump as "the president", and one who strongly fights back.
Not if it's making you trust them. They only show their true colors when the cards are down. The rest of the time, they're saying what we want to hear.
I can’t find an example of this used after holding office, only while currently holding office. Didn’t spend too much time looking yet, though.
Other interesting things on the wiki:
“Prior to becoming attorney general in 1991, Deputy Attorney General William P. Barr issued guidance in 1989 about responding to congressional requests for confidential executive branch information. He wrote: "Only when the accommodation process fails to resolve a dispute and a subpoena is issued does it become necessary for the president to consider asserting executive privilege".
Executive privilege is the right of the president of the United States and other members of the executive branch to maintain confidential communications under certain circumstances within the executive branch and to resist some subpoenas and other oversight by the legislative and judicial branches of government in pursuit of particular information or personnel relating to those confidential communications. The right comes into effect when revealing information would impair governmental functions. Neither executive privilege nor the oversight power of Congress is explicitly mentioned in the United States Constitution.[1] However, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that executive privilege and congressional oversight each are a consequence of the doctrine of the separation of powers, derived from the supremacy of each branch in its own area of Constitutional activity.[2]
Devolution confirmed with impairing government functions?
Edit: Not a lawyer by any means, but there’s a summary listed on Pogo of what E. P. can/cannot do, and when it applies/does not apply
I posted down the page a bit a couple of articles on Immunity. This is what they are talking about. He has Immunity because this happened while he was still President. Democrats are trying to change those laws ASAP to go after Trump on this jan 6th issue, claiming he is an insurrectionist too, they are using the George Floyd case to drum up sympathy to overturn the Immunity Clause, it covers Police and Government officials.
We would all love to believe Trump is secretly still President and that this statement of invoking Executive Privilege means more than it does, but it simply does not.
Bwahhahaha! If D’s challenge it’s a court fight and Supremes got a precedent fraud vitiates everything! If Trump wins he is POTUS! If he loses nothing changes. Just another way to skin weasels!
How can he invoke such power unless...
This was going to be my question, Camaro! Is he still technically president?
Last sentence; “The PRESIDENT-fights-back”.
👀
Correct. Only sitting officials can invoke executive privilege.
Thanks for the find.

REEEE!! (love it☝🏼).
Always remember --- Trump never conceded.

Oh please do, it would be amazing to get Obama up there.
Appreciate the personal input. Can you provide any sources to back up these claims?

He's starting to play offense.
Executive privilege? Sounds like defense
That will piss them off
Rope a dope. Now they will all be talking about the January 6 subpoenas. Eyes on, and then the real story will unfold.

On cable, or interzones?
Over the air, channel 59-7
Gotcha. More indoctrination required...

Yeah, like I'll ever "trust" a news channel again. LOL
So then they are doing a crappy job. Lol
Since November 4th, 2020 he has been a War President. Or there abouts. As soon as a foreign Country was involved in the election theft.
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Let's stay

The subpoena's are concerning Jan 6th. He was still a sitting President on Jan 6th. That is why he has immunity for the subpoena's.
It doesn’t matter who was President when it occurred.
Only a sitting President can “invoke” executive privilege.
Invoke means you have the authority to do something.
I.E. A person can invoke their 5th Amendment right.
Another person (I.e. your attorney) cannot invoke YOUR 5th amendment right.

Except he can’t claim privilege to avoid continuation of government issues for something that happened months ago...
Wonder if GEOTUS showed up for testimony. Bet he could out maneuver the libtards. Pay per view worthy.
Bwahhahaha! If D’s challenge it’s a court fight and Supremes got a precedent fraud vitiates everything! If Trump wins he is POTUS! If he loses nothing changes. Just another way to skin weasels!
It’s implying Trump is the sitting President.
Only the sitting President can invoke executive privilege.
