Some Republican defenders of President Trump fear White House lawyers are about to make a crucial misstep in House impeachment proceedings by not asserting executive privilege as Tim Morrison prepares to become the first current White House staffer to testify.
Morrison, brought to the White House by deposed national security adviser John Bolton, is viewed with suspicion by many Trump allies, who are expressing concern that the "superhawk" may speak without restriction and offer his opinions about work on Ukraine policy issues.
Two sources familiar with proceedings on Capitol Hill say the White House has not indicated that it will assert privilege over all or parts of Morrison’s testimony, which had been expected Friday, but which the Washington Examiner learned has been delayed to Thursday.

Another day, another clown show article from “Conservative Inc”. As usual the most inept political movement in US History is wasting all their effort shooting their own side in the back rather then fight the Democrat Fascists on anything.
“Conservative Inc” the most gutless bunch of political cowards in US History
Sounds legit.
The walls are closing in.
Is that the latest version of Trump’s lawyer sitting down with Mueller for thirty hours? Thirty freaking hours.
Yeah - we need to pay extra attention to what them “Republican sources” say....
The concept of “Separation of Powers” has gone by the wayside in this country. When the left is in power the congress abdicates its’ responsibilities to the executive, when the right holds the executive the left usurps that power.
Trojan horse?
Anguished?
I’m not anguished...
Are you guys anguished...?
Note to the rag: Nice try tho.
The more I learn about John Bolton, the more I realize I must have been an idiot to think he was a man of honor and leadership...
If he’s being called by the Democrats for their secret hearings, he doesn’t need executive privilege to refuse. They have no legal right to call him.
