Was only a matter of time before Trump began throwing supporters under the bus

[quote]Trump released Bannon from the privilege in a Saturday letter to Costello, saying: "If you reach an agreement on a time and place for your testimony, I will waive executive privilege for you, which will allow for you to in and testify truthfully and fairly as per the request of the Unselect Committee of political Thugs and Hacks."[/quote]

Although I wouldn't expect the answer to any relevant question to be other than "The Fifth". But it will get him Steve Bannon out from under the Contempt of Congress charges and an opportunity to repeat the Holy Grail in an opening statement. Was pretty hard for him to claim executive privilege when the White House Counsel managed to find a way to answer the subpoena while honoring both executive privilege and lawyer-client privilege.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout you would first have to believe j6 is more than an episode of the view.

Tres13 · 51-55, M

J6 is The Russian Hoax season 2@MasterLee

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Setting him up to be the one who commits perjury or takes the Fifth under oath rather than testifying himself. What else would you call it?

@Tres13 I think J6 is season 3. The quid pro quo with Ukraine was season 2.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout gave permission? Why dors Bannon "need" permission?

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

@samueltyler2 because of executive privilege.

do you ppl read or know anything.?

or just wait for CNN/USA today to tell you to be outraged?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout you do know that Bannon could not claim executive privilege for several reasons, and the person who would decide if it even applied would be the sitting president? Do you read or listen to anyone except tRump and the far, far, right?

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

@samueltyler2 ohh ffs. +-just go away. he got permission to wave executive privilege.
i really dont know whats so fucking hard to understand.

but what ever, orange man bad. blah blah blah. it must be nefarious..

but go on.. keep making shit up as you go..

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout better go back to your sources! Bannon was never really eligible to use that excuse, and refusing to appear in response to a legally authorized subpoenas is unlawful, he could never have used executive privilege as an excuse to not even show up! You need to reread even the information your right wing nuts feed you.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout great use of English, you have no idea what you are saying. TRump has no executive privilege, not does he control such anymore.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@samueltyler2 you must not understand how it works

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

@MasterLee it kinda sooper obvious huh?

Carissimi · F

It makes no sense. It’s like their minds are so twisted with TDS that they can’t understand simple concepts. @TheOneyouwerewarnedabout

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Carissimi they have no concept of classifying authority.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MasterLee tell me! Bannon was not working in the POTUS office at the time, the sitting president is the only one that can declare or ascertain executive privilege, there is no executive privilege when a crime is involved, that is what I have learned, what is your theory?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@samueltyler2 if that were true obama would be rotting in jail.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MasterLee would you care to tell us what your mind makes you think Obama did that broke the law? How many of Obama's administration resign in disgrace, were indicted, pleaded guilty, etc.?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@samueltyler2 No, you already know. Just too blind to even want to see it.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MasterLee great side step! You are so brain washed by your hate!

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@samueltyler2 I actually don't hate at all. I just recognize your demagoguery and refuse to work with your goal post movements.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MasterLee it is you who change the subject when it gets difficult just like all you tRumpists.
