... which requires that we notify the representatives of the former President and the incumbent President prior to the release of any Presidential records. This notification gives them an opportunity to invoke executive privilege over the records proposed for disclosure.
As Judge Chutkan observed in her extensive opinion, executive privilege exists for the benefit of the presidency, rather than for any individual president, much less former presidents. Trump is therefore almost certain to lose.
I think the Dems are gonna learn what executive privilege really means. Did Trump go through the whole charade of blocking Jan 6 documents just to set this precedent?
The ruling was 8 to 1 which is considered an absolute Supreme Court bloodbath for the defense attorneys. Dare I say Trump's team purposely put up an anemic defense to make sure they lost on purpose.
The Court is following the law as stated in Executive Order 13489 which is from 2009 and gave the public greater access to Presidential Records after the Bush White House tried to restrict them. As far as I know this executive order hasn't been superceded.
The incumbent president is the decider. There's a whole section on executive privilege claims by former presidents.......
Sec. 4. Claim of Executive Privilege by Former President.
In this case, the claim goes to the Archivist.
" the Archivist
shall consult with the Attorney General (through the Assistant Attorney
General for the Office of Legal Counsel), the Counsel to the President,
and such other executive agencies "
Then the Archivist’s determines if it's a legitimate claim but "In making the determination referred to in subsection (a) of this section,
the Archivist **shall abide by any instructions given him by the incumbent
President or his designee unless otherwise directed by a final court order. **
"Crucially, the PRA confers upon sitting presidents the power to object or agree to the production of records for Congress, both for themselves and their predecessors. In this case, President Biden formally consented to the document production, thus overruling Trump’s assertion of executive privilege."
They seem to assume that Biden is somehow "their guy" and wont overrule any objections from 'Bummer. Hehe, it will be fun to watch when they realise their guy is not their guy.
Wait wait, just wait a second.

Damn, Trump really is a genius. Didn’t doubt it, but he continues to impress me.
The really impressive parts have not yet come to the surface!

No, Trump is not setting a precedent.
The Court is following the law as stated in Executive Order 13489 which is from 2009 and gave the public greater access to Presidential Records after the Bush White House tried to restrict them. As far as I know this executive order hasn't been superceded.

Now do Trump and Obummer.
They seem to assume that Biden is somehow "their guy" and wont overrule any objections from 'Bummer. Hehe, it will be fun to watch when they realise their guy is not their guy.
