Biden should allow all the truth to come out.

Like Stormy Daniels on film Biden should claim he has nothing to hide.

[william clark]

There are so many holes in that executive privilege claim I don’t know where to start, and I’m not even a legal/constitutional scholar.

“...the integrity, effectiveness, and independence...”

The DoJustUs has no integrity and no independence.

It’s very effective in using its fascist, jack-booted thugs against its political enemies, real and imagined.

[shalom aleichem]

Yes, Executive privilege is supposed to shield close confidential discussions with TOP aides. Certainly NOT a prosecutor who is obligated to nail you and has given you Miranda warnings.

[Rennes Templar]

It’s not about the truth. It’s about Biden sounding like a dufus.

[Sacajaweau]

It’s not his to stop. Congress already has a transcript. Wouldn’t that be election interference?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Sounds impeachable, by Democrat standards

[Sarah Barracuda]

Its because that video is SO SO SO bad if it were to EVER come out it would sink Biden’s entire bogus presidency

[Sarah Barracuda]

If this were Trump someone in the DOJ would have already released it to the media

[frank ballenger]

It’s about Biden sounding like a dufus.

Okay. So business as usual. Nothing's changed.

[Jane Long]

Hmmm....Executive Privilege for Briben, but, not for Pres Trump?

[Jane Long]

Sounds impeachable, by Democrat standards

Agree.

While he has Peter Navarro in jail for the same claim.

I have litigated successfully against the assertion of claims of executive privilege used to prevent public disclosure by the Governor, at the time, of the State of RI. Executive privilege keeps information secret regarding why a particular policy decision was made by the executive branch. In our case, we showed that the information we sought had nothing to do with a decision thus executive privilege did not attach. In regard to FJB, the tape of the interview and its contents had nothing to do with A POLICY DECISION, therefore Executive Privilege does not apply. PERIOD.

[jpp113]

What FJB and Garland are saying, without actually saying it, by this bogus privilege assertion, is the same as Trump’s argument about presidential immunity. Brandon and Garland cannot be seen as agreeing with Trump on this issue, so they now tell another the lie and dig their hole deeper.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Think there might be some differences between the recording and the transcript? He waived privilege when they released the transcript.

[lurk]

Executive privilege has pretty much been voided the last seven years Joe. That whole goes around comes around thing.

[montag813]

Appeal this to the supreme Court... And hurry!
