Wow, the Dem’s will be unhappy when a Republican President is in the White house and can nullify Congressional investigations.

Merrick Garland just said the president can extend presidential privilege to keep individuals from being held in criminal contempt from Congress.

And that would be found in which Article and Section of the Constitution?

SCOTUS - it's time to set the Biden administration and rodents like Garland straight!

The House needs to build a jail in its basement and have the Sergeant of Arms arrest and jail Garland and all those held in contempt of Congress. As Joe would say, 'No one is above the law.'

If we get to the truth about all their activities the cry will be for some of these actors to be sent to the electric chair.
Sorry Merrick, your prop president can’t save you.

The executive office has no power over Congress.

Rosenstein and Holder seemed to claim that DOJ could ignore congressional subpoenas. If Trump wins I hope he fires Garland and many like him.

I believe that can be filed under, Who Is Above the Law.

Does that mean no one in the Administration has to testify before Congress? So I guess everything that’s done by the Administration is a big secret. We have a secret government.

“Merrick Garland just said the president can extend presidential privilege to keep individuals from being held in criminal contempt from Congress”

“And that would be found in which Article and Section of the Constitution?”

Gramps Garland, seems to have no knowledge of the laws of this country. That’s one thing , probably not many others, that we can thank Yertle the Turtle Mitch McConnell for not allowing this vial clown to not be brought up for a vote for the USSC.

Executive Privilege was only meant to extend to advise given to the President during decision-making processes. It is not a blanket exemption for anyone who talks to the President.

Cabinet members do not get executive privilege for acting within the boundaries of their offices, including conversations with the President or other Cabinet members.

The President could invoke privilege for discussions with his Chief-of-Staff or personal advisors, and his White House Counsel, but nobody else with perhaps very narrow exceptions.

Also, notice how Garland is moving to give Biden unlimited "Executive Privilege" for his entire administration but President Trump gets no unlimited "immunity" from prosecution for acts undertaken while President. What's the difference?

I may be wrong, but doesn’t this administration remind you of King George III
