SCOTUS opened a can of worms with this decision.

I say that because from now on, any time Congress gets a bug up their a** and want to investigate a president, they’ll have no problem getting records from now on, and here I thought presidential records were off limits because of executive priviledge. Can you imagine what can happen now? Why couldn’t they get records from former presidents? Because of execute priviledge. Remember when they wanted Obama’s logs and phone records but he said “executive privilege” and it was immediately dropped?

Obama’s presidential records are sealed for so many years. That’s why the edifice he is building in Chicago is not a library. His records will not be there.

Bidens records as senator and vice president are at a university in Delaware. They are also unavailable to the public They are Dems. Different rules for them.

IIRC, Nixon called Executive Privilege over the “tapes”. The Court said No.

More indication that Left is confident they will never give up power.

Either they are confident they can endlessly steal ‘elections’, or they live in a fantasy land.
