Trump signals he’d seek to block impeachment trial testimony from Bolton, others in exclusive interv

[Superbadbrutha]

President Trump indicated in an exclusive interview with Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" that he would use executive privilege to block former national security adviser John Bolton and other administration officials from testifying in his Senate impeachment trial if necessary.

“I think you have to for the sake of the office,” Trump replied when asked by host Laura Ingraham if he would use executive privilege to stop testimony from Bolton, who said this week he would be willing to testify.

He then referenced several other officials, including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, saying he would like for them to testify but can’t allow it because of executive privilege concerns.

This has to be stopped.

Executive privilege doesn't apply to crimes.

It's been established in the courts already. It's insulting to see trump use executive privilege to try to cover up his crimes.

T.D.S.

"Congressional oversight" of the Executive DOES NOT APPLY TO private conversations among the inner circle of the White House, regarding policy, planned actions, appointments, firings, etc. ALL OF THESE are subject to legitimate assertions of Executive Privilege.

Legitimate Congressional oversight applies to Congress' interest in seeing to it that the Executive Branch carries out the policies incorporated into legislation. For example, Congress can oversee how the Administration implements environmental laws, to ensure that Congress' policies are carried out.

Congress has NO RIGHT to examine the President's inner circle about private conversations with the President. And while John Bolton may be willing to go before Congress, he - of all people - is fully aware of this distinction and will not disclose any conversations that are rightly privileged.

When the President (yes, Lefties, he is still the President) says that he will "block" Bolton's testimony, he is not speaking with legal precision - he never does. He is saying that if Bolton does testify, White House counsel will be present to ensure that Bolton does not cross the line.

None of this is controversial or questionable, and all completely predictable.

Why are so many people so ignorant of reality?

If the left spent as much time trying to actually do their jobs and legislate as they do trying to invent endless impeachment reasons they might actually get something accomplished. Of course in order to continue to get the votes from non-thinking party hacks like the OP here, they have to pander to the tin foil hat crowd.
