Not surprising, but it's worth stressing that there's no such thing as a privilege to not even _invoke_ executive privilege. The burden is on the Committee to compel the witness to either answer the question or assert executive privilege (which wouldn't apply to the transition).https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/968551492474015744 …
I don't understand how various committees let people get away with this so much. This seems like an abdication of power to a significant degree. Independent of party, that got to be against your institutional interests.
