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

      After spending 17 ¶s arguing they're not subject to things like PRA they now want to claim they get all the privileges tied to PRA.pic.twitter.com/2fIZr6rtU4

      Q: If FBI DID exploit 6 month exemption under SCA, will Trump finally fix it?

      This almost certainly is an accusation that NYT's copy of KT McFarland's emails came via the GSA production (I call bull). IF SO that means Trump withheld clearly responsive email.pic.twitter.com/Ch7ZQulLzF

      This only makes sense if there WERE privileged materials here. They're not actually claiming that.pic.twitter.com/phidpHZVcU

      Setting aside the question of whether SCO engaged in any misconduct here. Can some reporters get the WH on the record whether they agree w/sentiment that private parties decide what's privileged/responsive? Please?pic.twitter.com/5wAuVU7zrG

      Given that Sessions or Nunes might have been (tho I doubt) collected on here, I find it interesting they're citing congressional privilege (which they didn't in claimed privileges).pic.twitter.com/xuTrWnq1uP

      This is a fucking espionage related case. But the GOP doesn't think that implicates National Security. Also, that last line is for the Mueller firing case.pic.twitter.com/2lmBN82hiv

      "We believe the strong public interest in honest government and in exposing wrongdoing by public officials would be ill-served by recognition of a governmental attorney-client privilege applicable in criminal proceedings inquiring into the actions of public officials." 8thCircuit

      The letter implies they would have asserted other types of privilege for many of the emails. Not sure how this one makes sense if they aren’t technically part of executive branch yet?pic.twitter.com/4nkb6GoVdq

      Right: Not subject to FOIA! But we'll invoke a FOIA privilege!

          This whole letter is ultimately just sour grapes.
