Idle thoughts about Executive Priveledge
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 3:30 am
I can't believe anyone is buying that executive privilege exists for any conversation that occured before Donald Trump took the oath of office.
One thing I was wondering is how he could claim any privilege for a conversation that occured before the electoral college met. One thing Trump is very insistent upon is that the popular vote means nothing, so technically Election night is not even when Donald Trump became President-elect. The earliest day he can be considered President-elect is December 19, when the electors meet. Even then, there is a ratification process.
Thoughts?
