to the new york times, the meeting was to discuss media strategy, not to overturn the election. the position jim jordan s spokesperson has take own behalf of jim jordan is he wasn t involved in a coup. why wouldn t he call liz or adam or chairman thompson and ask to go explain that, david jolly? well, you re exactly right. to daniel s point, there are privileges that exist with members of congress, much like the president of the united states is trying to exert executive privilege wrongly or not. just because you have that privilege or you suggest you might have that privilege doesn t mean you have to use it. i think that s the question we re in right now, this national moment where people died as a result to try of trying to undermine national election, our democracy was nearly toppled, and it would seem the calling of patriotism is that you share with the investigators what you know. but that s not the position that these republican members are taking. the information that cont
attorney general garland? well, i do think meadows is very likely to be charged with criminal contempt, just like bannon. erin, simply because bannon s claims are bizarre and ludicrous. it doesn t make meadows claims good. the executive privilege belongs to the president of the united states the current president as the court decided when trump s tried to stop the committee. the president is not asserting as to meadows. as you point out, there are many other deficiencies in the arguments in the meadows case that was filed today, including that privilege doesn t protect this kind of misconduct. these are political actions. they re not within the official purview of the executive. and so, not within executive privilege. he s not going to succeed here. as you noted, this is about delay. it s about defiance. and it s about the desire to now
accident. the key is to get out early. one of the things that s interesting about this particular accident, the plane went 500 feet on the runway before this all happened. what questions do you have about this? first of all, the run way is over a mile long down here. so they had plenty of runway. 500 feet doesn t seem that much. i haven t gone and measured how far they went down the runway before they tried to take off. but the key is pilots on takeoff are always ready to abort a takeoff. they get to a point of their decision speed they have to go or don t go. unless the airplane is unflyable or unsafe, the pilots are going to take off. a problem in the takeoff role that doesn t threaten the safety of the flight is not going to cause a pilot to abort. the big question is did they
tweet that said something like it s going to be wild, the rally they were planning. we have seen this the last five years. trump or people around trump say these things. when people press them on what exactly did that mean or this looks as if it was a tie-in to what happened january 6th they say, no, no, no. or, why would you think that? it s not surprising people are looking the a or this own words. another reason why the executive privilege claim was tied in, executive privilege doesn t cover illegal actions. if you are doing something outside the purview of the law or responsibilities, privilege doesn t cover that. to that end, maggie reporter: right.
the privilege doesn t vanish because he s not in office any more than the attorney/client privilege vanishes when the client dies in the vince foster case or a member leaves congress under the speech of debate clause. the issue is weather the functions of seeking confidential advice from advisors applies in the president leaving office, and it does. whether these documents are part of the privilege is a separate issue. that s the issue that will get litigated in his lawsuit. i understand the argument but i don t see any basis of precedent for it, because it s not like the attorney/client privilege. with that the privilege goes with the client, . even if the client dies, it s always theirs. this goes with the office. so if you are no longer president, you don t have that. and the proof of that, counselor, the only time a former president has gotten the privilege protection is when a current president has offered it, which is why trump s guys
