    So Sessions is protecting Trump's right to hypothetically retroactively assert executive privilege "if he so chooses"...?

        Damn straight, Matt. That is exactly correct. Sessions is absolutely right on this -- as long as it is a TEMPORARY withholding of info.

        Privilege is affirmative. The president needs to assert it or it is waived. This is and remains bullshit. It is Contempt of Congress.

        He can get confidential advice, sure. But when you testify before Congress, either claim EP or answer.

        nope, just a fan of bad jokes (FWIW, Trump won the nom calling Republicans names, little Marco, low energy Jeb etc)

        @stephenfhayes Kind of like Comey not wanting to announce Trump not under investigation because the future might change.

        @JoeNBC for the sake of our country, truly, I hope Sessions is a better lawyer than he is a witness.

        Listen closely: Neither a President nor anyone else may assert whether an answer is privileged until he knows the question has been asked.

        No, Sessions, and Coats and Rogers, are claiming that Trump has given them proxies which can be asserted by them if they feel uneasy. BS.
