That DOJ "Confidentiality" Document Sessions Cited
DOJ ^ | 6/19/1989 | DOJ

Posted on 06/14/2017 1:26:38 AM PDT by zencycler

Here is the relevant excerpt related to Sessions' correct assertion that he did not have to answer questions about confidential presidential conversations (unless pursuant to a subpoena in a case involving criminal charges, I believe):

============================================================

"...While the considerations that support the concept and assertion of exec­utive privilege apply to any congressional request for information, the privilege itself need not be claimed formally vis-à-vis Congress except in response to a lawful subpoena; in responding to a congressional request for information, the executive branch is not necessarily bound by the lim­its of executive privilege.

Executive privilege is constitutionally based. To be sure, the Consti­tution nowhere expressly states that the President, or the executive branch generally, enjoys a privilege against disclosing information requested by the courts, the public, or the legislative branch. The exis­tence of such a privilege, however, is a necessary corollary of the execu­tive function vested in the President by Article II of the Constitution.1 It has been asserted by numerous Presidents from the earliest days of our Nation, and it was explicitly recognized by the Supreme Court...".

I am okay using the Q-word.

She’s quota. So was obama. No way obama would have gotten into Ivy League schools as a “B” student in high school. No way he could have transferred into Columbia like he did.

He had some islamies in high ranking positions that helped get him into Harvard. The faculty at Harvard didn’t even allow a vote on who would be president of the Harvard review because they wanted their first black. They also got double points for their quota because he had a muzzie name.

Is she quota? There is no doubt in my mind that she’s used race to her advantage.

I’m thinking the GOP members of the house should be calling for a special prosecutor to investigate whether Democrats were behind the attempted mass assassination of GOP elected officials.
