Democratic Representative Ted Deutch carefully laying out the constitutional threat of Trump’s application of executive privilege. For all the people complaining that Nadler was ordering Barr to violate the law—which he didn’t—Barr is cheerfully and knowingly violating the law with this expansive view of privilege.
Deutch is coming off very well in this, He’s being firm, but also being detailed and step-by-step in laying out the constitutional threat. “He has ordered, without authority, Don McGahn not to testify here. He has ordered, without authority, the Treasury Department to withhold his tax returns.”
So far my favorite statement of the day.
