(10,911 posts)Executive privilege is not for the benefit of an individual.
It is for the benefit of the Republic.
In other words, it is a governmental privilege not a personal privilege.
So what advantage is it to the Republic that Trump gets to keep these government documents out of the possession of the government? Rhetorical question.
The DoJ & its Attorney General, FBI & its Director and National Security Division and its Chief of the Counterintelligence = the government
want these documents back.
And a Grand Jury and a judge agreed with them
The resulting search warrant delivered what they said would be there with the alleged assistance of an informant.
Joe Biden decides executive privilege claims as he did in the Jan 6th efforts to get documents.
Trump has little to no say.
More BS smoke
