Summary

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the news media is ignorant and constitutionally illiterate. Executive privilege is a function of our separation of powers, part of our system of checks and balances. The president should and must use executive privilege to protect the office of the presidency. President Trump waived that privilege in the criminal investigation conducted with the executive branch but has no responsibility to do so with other branches of government. The White House Counsel, Don McGhann, sat for 30 hours of interviews with the Special Counsel, if Congress wants his testimony they should subpoena Robert Mueller's interview. The House Judiciary committee may ask, but has no inherent mandate to an audience with the White House attorney or any other member of the President's staff. Chairmen Jerry Nadler and Elijah Cummings are wrong. These subpoenas are political theater to continue sabotaging Trump's presidency. Then, freedom of the press originated as the printers right to use their printing press freely when publishing pamphlets during the revolution. Today this freedom is contorted to pump out propaganda. Later, a handful of leftwing politicians undermine our Constitutional structure for their own political benefit with this relentless pursuit for impeachment. Meanwhile the vast majority of them have profited from public service more than Enron and other Ponzi schemes; however, their weapon of choice is a TV camera and a subpoena.

0:52.0	I've been watching these news programs off and on all day. It's very exhausting.

1:05.0	That is spewed.
1:07.0	Executive privilege. What's executive privilege?

1:17.0	Remember, we have three co-equal branches of government.
1:22.0	And when one branch of government tries to seize ground from another branch of government, the other branch of government is expected to fight it.
1:36.0	Now, Gerald Nadler is a low IQ individual and a slip-and-fall lawyer.
1:41.0	He happens to be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee because he's been elected to Congress for 25 or 30 years from a dark blue radical Democrat district.
1:53.0	That doesn't make him smart. Make him a congressman.
2:00.0	And ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States will be asserting privileges, whether it's attorney-client privilege, executive privilege, other privileges that exist as a result of past presidents and past litigation.
2:16.0	Gerald Nadler says, well, the president can't do that now. That time is long past, you see, because he didn't assert privilege over any of his staff or any of the documents who were interviewed by or material received by the special counsel.
2:31.0	Now, why is that a completely bogus argument? Anybody know?
2:38.0	Because the special counsel was part of the Department of Justice, the Department of Justice is part of the executive branch, the president of the United States and charge of the executive branch.
2:49.0	So the president is not going to assert executive privilege against himself.
2:55.0	Now, it's been done, but it fails.
