    Trump to file a lawsuit against Biden White House to keep a lid records documenting the Jan. 6 riots: report

    “We will fight the subpoenas on executive privilege and other grounds for the good of our country, while we wait to find out whether or not subpoenas will be sent out to Antifa and BLM for the death and destruction they have caused," Trump said.


    At this point, one would have to assume that Trump's legal challenge will likely go down in flames.

    Executive privilege

    The Supreme Court confirmed the legitimacy of this doctrine in United States v. Nixon in the context of a subpoena emanating from the judiciary, instead of emanating from Congress.[3] The Court held that there is a qualified privilege, which once invoked, creates a presumption of privilege, and the party seeking the documents must then make a "sufficient showing" that the "presidential material" is "essential to the justice of the case". Chief Justice Warren Burger further stated that executive privilege would most effectively apply when the oversight of the executive would impair that branch's national security concerns.

    True, but I was referencing what Trump himself did.

    For a group of people that hate liberal Hollywood they sure love playing Hollywood thriller tropes inside their head.

    Are they attacking the police with poles, and shooting bear mace at them? Are they urinating, and taking dumps in the individual offices of the building as well?

    Your attempt at whataboutism to whitewash January 6th is sickening. If ANYONE is attacking police in a violent mob like fashion.... especially if that violence is aimed at overturning a Democratic election to reinstall an autocrat, they deserve to be arrested in held to justice.

    Also... apparently you have never been to our Nations Capital. This is happening in front off the White House and in front of the Ellipse 24/7. When I was there last a dude literally set himself on fire on the Ellipse lawn, and it barely made the rounds on social media.

    if they break the law then they should be held accountable. if they try to overthrow our government then they should be held accountable. if they destroy public property, assault police officers, threaten to murder elected officials or enter restricted areas then they should be held accountable.

    if you have a problem with what these people are doing, but try to downplay what the trumpers did on january 6th that you are nothing more than a hyporcite and a partisan hack.

    Unlike Jan 6, this appears to be a peaceful protest. You should take notes on how it's done and bring it back to your Proud Boy group.

    This is the depths that supporting donald trump and the violent insurrection trying to overturn the election has taken people (remember this next time someone posts a byron york article on anything)...
