  3. That's is expected , because that's all he is good for , exerting executive privilege and signing executive orders.

    He will be exposed and he is not going to like it . He will shit on Graham and McConnell and everyone else

    Did you see the Lev Parnas tapes?.:).

  4. The question is whether Trump can claim executive privilege to prevent Bolton from willfully testifying. If Bolton is subpoena to testify against his will he can claim executive privilege to not be compelled to testify. But can a 3rd party claim a privilege to stop someone else who chooses to testify (assuming hypo that Bolton wants to testify on his own)

    Interesting legal question. I know a client can prevent his Lawyer from testifying claiming attorney client privilege but that is a more clearly delineated right and coded...Executive privilege claimed by a public official for comments said in privacy in a "trial"?

    Too lazy and care to little to research but does present a legal issue.

    Yup, just like Al Capone, incumbent upon him not only to fight corruption, but to "root out" corruption wherever it lurks. Are you quoting the little known "corruption rooting" clause in the constitution here? I try to be respectful of other opinions that I don't share. But we all have our limits. You sir, are a joke.

    Bolton does not have the ability to invoke executive privilege. ---The President does though and he can keep Bolton silent. It is the President's prerogative, not Bolton's . This would be ruled in the favor of The President by the courts. You would have a 9 to 12 month litigation of executive privilege. This is what The Idiot Dems want.

  10. You didn't read what I wrote well..the question is whether Trump can claim executive privilege to stop a 3rd party from willfully testifying...

    If Bolton says he will appear on his own will to testify, can Trump block him. The precedent here is really thin and only case law is persuasive citing other privileges under the law.

    Bolton does not have a special privilege under the law and since he was fired I doubt he signed an NDA. we are talking about public office not private relationships that have well recognized law.

    Thus the question....
