Many leftist are saying once you waive Executive Privilege, you can't invoke it after the fact. What's the truth here?

They are nuts.

I remember that IRS bitch answering some questions and then taking the 5th later


Mueller was working WITHIN the DOJ. So, part of the Executive. To "waive privilege" within a "department" says nothing about external.


Finally, they have been incorrect about nearly EVERYTHING they have said so far. I am not expecting the blind squirrels to have found a nut this time.

Update [June 28, 2012]: The House of Representatives voted to hold Holder in contempt, the first time in history for an attorney general. Most House Democrats, including minority leader Nancy Pelosi, walked out in protest amid the vote. It’s now up to the Justice Department to decide how to proceed.


So it was okay with democrats in 2012 but it's not now

I'm good with that, I just didn't know if there was any precedence for not invoking it and then invoking it.

They are LEFTIST, they have trouble telling the truth, and have a very hard time believing the truth, even when it hits them square in the face!!

Well I think if there is any argument, it was stated that Trump did not flex the privilege over the redactions themselves specifically. I don't remember anything ever being said about the unredacted version of the report at all and Trump waiving privilege . They tried to force Barr to give it up, pres said frick that.

Did he actually waive it or just not assert it before?

THere would be a difference

Trump only invoked executive privilege as to the "unredacted" report.

The dumbasses have the redacted report. Nobody is asking for the redacted report back.

In other words - the shite that was blacked out is still privileged, and it hasn't been waived.

The Zillion pages of evidence and testimony that this investigation was designed to elicit were provided to the executive branch and within it to comply with the E Branch's investigation of itself, not to be Oppo Research for Nadless (love this nickname for him and hat tip to brethren who dubbed him so recently).

Those documents weren't produced, and privilege wasn't waived there either.

Leftists are idiots. Barr knows the rule on privilege waivers. They have been completely outmaneuvered by an actual, bad arse lawyer.

Wednesday's sexy unsexy old boyfriend for life, Bill Barr.

I haven't seen what these leftists are actually saying, but, generally, if any information has already been disclosed then one cannot try to assert privilege and "undisclose" it. I don't think that idea applies here.

The way I understand it, Trump is asserting executive privilege over the un-redacted Mueller report and all of the underlying documentary evidence, pending a review of what might actually be privileged and not subect to the subpoena.

Obviously, a redacted version of the Mueller report is already public, and Trump cannot now assert executive privilege over that....or even over the less redacted version that has supposedly been available to House Committees for a while now. But he can certainly still assert privilege over the redacted portions and any other information sought by the subpoena.
