Trump NEVER invoked executive privilege over anything specific to Bannon.

[kpete]

seems like, in addition to Bannon, this info is not good for Bannon’s (former) attorney

JUST IN: DOJ says it interviewed Donald Trump’s attorney Justin Clark on June 29! The department says Clark confirmed Trump never invoked executive privilege over anything specific to Bannon.

“All of the above-described circumstances suggest the Defendant’s sudden wish to testify is not a genuine effort to meet his obligations but a last-ditch attempt to avoid accountability.”

1. Trump revoked Bannon's executive privilege in WRITING

executive privilege he never had... it's possible Pond Scum Bannon may have assumed he had executive privilege but his lawyer, Costello ("who's on first?&quot did know Bannon's claim (again in writing) was bullshit..this should be interesting

3. Bannon was trying to make it through on hubris.

The other game he had going was probably some insistence that TFG had granted him a so-called blanket pardon. The prosecution may be saying, “Nuh, uh! Those don’t exist. The pardon was for the very specific case of the build-the-wall caper.”

TFG not yet wanting to expend the blanket pardon myth on Bannon and wanting to reserve that ploy for those he cares the most about. (namely, himself) Has cut Bannon loose.

Then there’s the often cited desire to insert bullshit into the JanG hearings. Why not both?

4. Trump wants a spy "in the court" (J6 committee)

his absurd letter revoking executive privilege he never had to give (that's the damn story!) was a nod to Bannon..go ahead, testify, and blow up the hearings..

2. They are all nuts.

5. And then he lied about it.

Why?
