Let's face facts! Trump isn't invoking executive privilege, he is claiming the criminal privilege of

taking the fifth. He is invoking his right to not be required to provide evidence of his clearly criminal activities. This is not surprising. But it is informative.

Executive privilege is a very specific thing and, from what I understand, not a coverall for criminal activity.

The entire Republican Party seems to be engaged in “taking the fifth”. Starting with twitchy Mitch McConnell. How did these ,otherwise human, excrement bags come under the thrall of such a tyrant of so little intelligence?

Now he is saying that the NYT article is at once untrue and, oh by the way, he intentionally lost all that money. He is doing to the country and the Republican Party (the two are no longer confluent entities) what he has ALWAYS done. Lie, cheat and steal in service to none but himself.

So if the NYT article is untrue, does that mean trump filed false tax returns for 10 years? Hmmm, kinda makes ya wonder. Oh well, he can can just claim executive privilege.....er I mean the Fifth.

1. Yep...stole everything he could steal on the way down....

now he's riding your jet America, and drinking your milkshake... and your top shelf booze: $100,000.
bar tab from Merde'a Go Go for bar raid by Rump buddies. He is stealing from the treasury and using the office to PROFIT himself and replenish his empty coffers.

Not to mention that it is obvious to anyone with a functining brain who has been keeping him afloat until now.

Your tax dollars at work, America. The tax dollars that he does NOT PAY!

HE HAS TO GO!

3. of course he is stealing from the treasury! It is the only thing he knows how to do. And

we should consider that when he leaves the presidency, he will have a pension and Secret Service protection paid for by us. That may be what he really wants.

2. "Taking the fifth" is not a "criminal privilege."

It is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and available to every American.

We should never think of our rights as privileges.

4. He is doing what he is accusing immigrants of doing

Namely, failing to pay their share into the system while reaping the benefits. Except he calls it a sport and says it's a crime for immigrants even though he's the one not paying in and they actually have been shown to pay into the system.
