"Executive Privilege" is the #1 Culprit.

I'm just an internet lawyer so I'm sure that some legal beagles will set me straight.

The claims of executive privilege by nearly all of the Big Fish are the clogs in the judicial pipes.

It took 22 days to indict Steve Bannon, someone not associated with Trump because of executive privilege claims.

It is now day 54 of the Mark Meadows criminal referral and I guarantee the delay is because of claims of executive privilege.

Anyone who ever had a conversation with MF45 can claim executive privilege.

There is a rightful place to claim executive privilege, I do not want to abolish it, but last I checked, a person can't claim executive privilege to cover up a crime. How can crimes be proven if they can't even be investigated because criminals are claiming executive privilege?

Isn't this a freaking Catch 22?

1. Don't they have to actually testify to properly invoke privilege? They can't just tweet it

2. No. A proper claim of executive privilege would mean you could avoid testifying. n/t

3. Claiming executive privilege doesn't mean the claim will be upheld by the courts. n/t

4. Then why is DOJ honoring those claims for potential criminals?

5. The DOJ didn't honor the claim for Bannon, they indicted him.

I believe the DOJ has decided to investigate more serious charges than contempt for Meadows which is why they haven't indicted him yet.
