"Think we should hold emails to and from potus? That's the heart of his exec privilege. We could get them to ask for that. They may not care, but I(t) seems like they will."

Only had time to quickly post this. Going to be out getting truck worked on so I won’t be able to reply for a while.

Obama claimed he learned about Hillary’s email system the same time everybody else learned it.

Another big lie.

Title is:

WikiLeaks: Podesta Asks Clinton’s Lawyer, ‘Think We Should Hold Emails To and From (Obama)?’

Your changed title doesn’t make sense.

Cheryl Mills was Hillary’s chief of staff and “Counselor of the United States Department of State”. Despite the word “counselor”, this is not an attorney position. Most people in that position have not been attorneys (and the current office holder is not!). The fact that Mills is an attorney does not make all of her communications with Hillary privileged attorney client communications. Every lawyer knows this! Basically, only legal advice and related communications are privileged. Furthermore, as a government lawyer (assuming she was acting as a lawyer), any privilege belongs to the government and not to the government employee the attorney was giving legal advice to as part of her official duties. So if we were really talking about privileged communications here (which of course I suspect we are not!), the proper approach would have been for Mills and Clinton to turn over the possibly privileged emails to the State Department for them to review to for privilege. And if the DOJ really wanted to investigate this, they would have challenged the assertion of privilege and if that failed, used the grand jury process to compel production or at least a judicial review of the materials. This is a total joke and I can’t believe the headlines keeping describing Mills as “Clinton lawyer....”

This is pretty old news. That’s why,for us, Wiki leaks simply confirms what we already knew and puts names on it, but for us nothing is a “BOMBSHELL”.

For example, smuggling arms to bad guys through the back door treachery in Benghazi “negotiations” was a very early report, subsequently then buried by our incurious media for years.

Now, it surfaces again and gets choked off, so we can focus on the salacious attachments of American blondes.

We are being twerked.

"The FBI report released this past July revealed that President Obama used a pseudonym in his email correspondence with Clinton."

If he used a pseudonym in his email exchanges with her, how can they be deemed executive privilege? I don't think I've ever heard of a President Dick Wad, or whatever name he used.
