Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Whitehouse: Privilege. Let me refresh your recollection. Process for assertion. Import of exec priv so POTUS can have convos w/staff.

      Whitehouse: Offsetting principle is that Congress has oversight over Exec branch. You conceded that that is prevailing order.

      Whitehouse: Exec priv shall not be invoked w/o specific presidential authorization. Provision for temporary request, hold abeyance.

      Whitehouse: i don't see any effort on part of Admin to ever get specific authorization for exec priv on anything, very specific Qs on SSCI.

      Whitehouse: at some point he's got to assert exec priv, you can't have abeyance forever, can you? Sessions: specific requests blahblahblah

      Sessions claims he's unaware of SCOTUS saying Congress has right to inquire abt convos. Whitehouse; other way per Reagan.

      Whitehouse; Default is you have to answer our questions, while abeyance, what I'm worried abt Admin de facto rewriting Reagan EO so no end.

      Sessions: i would say we're not at that point, before assertion of exec, must know precisely. Contemptuous. Utterly contemptuous.

      Sessions: AG by talking to WHCO can agree to waive or not waive request, but really WHCO considered extension of POTUS.

          Grassley now raising Holder, still wouldn't answer, then Chair Leahy didn't direct him to do so. This was prepped, btw.
