This seems unnecessary. Aren’t some of the redactions required by law?
Law? We don’t need no stinking law. We want to rule forever.
IMO invoking executive privilege is a very stupid move in this case. It enables the Dems and their Leftist media accomplices to now further claim a coverup, which too many not paying attention people would find plausable.
It should have just been blasted out that what the House Dems were demanding IS illegal.
From one point of view, I agree. But from another, I can see the reason.
There's no point in having a contempt hearing over whether or not Barr is releasing documents once the President has declared them shielded under Executive Privilege. No matter the merit of the assertion, it's got to go through the President and the Courts just to break the Executive Privilege. The beef is now with the President, not Barr.
I see it as the President supporting a key employee and member of the Executive Branch.
This makes it tougher for them to gain access to info they have no business or legal right to - so they can leak it and ruin more lives....just being against the law for them to do something hasn’t been a deterrent so the President put up another obstacle to help insure they don’t get to walk all over the law w/o SCOTUS coming to their rescue....
