Trump lawyer: Mueller improperly obtained transition documents in Russia probe

...
You fail at reading comprehension... He was PRESIDENT ELECT... And that is when it begins...
No.

No.

Fish v Kobash

"In United States v. Nixon, the Supreme Court recognized “the presumptive confidentiality of
Presidential communications” as a qualified privilege.

This “privilege of confidentiality of Presidential communications derives from the supremacy of the Executive Branch within
its assigned area of constitutional responsibilities.” The Supreme Court stated the privilege
is necessary because a “President and those who assist him must be free to explore
alternatives in the process of shaping policies and making decisions and to do so in a way
many would be unwilling to express except privately.”
43
Defendant states that, though not acting in his capacity as Kansas Secretary of State,
he presented the photographed document to President-elect Trump as a member of the
“transition team” that “aids the President-elect in preparing policies and assuming his official
duties as President as efficiently as possible.” Defendant asserts communications between
44
a President-elect and his transition team are entitled to protection because “[a]llowing this
document to be discoverable would jeopardize the right of the President-elect to have
confidential and frank communications within his transition team.”


Defendant’s argument for withholding the photographed document under the
executive privilege is unpersuasive. First, Secretary Kobach’s communication was made to
a president-elect, not to a sitting president.


Although a president-elect by statute and policy
may be accorded security briefings and other transitional prerogatives, he or she has no
constitutional power to make any decisions on behalf of the Executive Branch. No court has
recognized the applicability of the executive privilege to communications made before a
president takes office. If that were the law, it would mean that potentially almost everything
communicated to a president-elect by the hundreds of persons seeking appointments in the
new administration would be shielded by privilege.

In Nixon v. Administrator of General Services, the Supreme Court did recognize that
former presidents may assert privilege over certain communications made during their terms
in office. But the reasoning given by the Court for its decision doesn’t directly translate to
communications with president-elects."

I will go with established Law which shields the President Elect..

"I was the executive director of Obama's '08 transition. Norm is right.
There is no expectation of privacy in transition emails:
1) they have a .gov address;
2) they were created with govt-supplied equipment; and
3) they sat on govt servers.

This is just whining from Trump team https://twitter.com/NormEisen/status/942251047799672832 … 8:50 AM - Dec 17, 2017

Executive privilege does not apply until you are the executive; these documents are from the transition, before Trump became the executive; QED no executive privilege. Grasping at straws here.
Wrong..

As I posted above, the privilege begins when he became president elect. It required a warrant which they did not get. Game Over

You used a blog post to support your position..

Here is some Case Law: Executive Privilege – D.C. Circuit Defines Scope of Presidential Communications Privilege, 111 Harv. L. Rev. 861 (1998)
He wasn't the president, ya fucknut.

And no, the privilege does not begin when he becomes president elect.

Wrong ---> you.

As usual, again.
You fail at reading comprehension... He was PRESIDENT ELECT... And that is when it begins...

Nope! Until they take office, no POTUS candidate or POTUS elect is allowed to speak to any foreign entities for any reason about anything....even if they are a sitting US Senator.


....Prog rules for Trump that didn’t exist for any other Presidential candidate in history.
Colonel Anus splats his face in the mud again.


You’re too stupid to understand sarcasm, but thanks for admitting Trump hasn’t done anything wrong.

If a sitting Senator is running for President, he is going to be talking to foreign diplomats in his duties as a Senator.

Can you explain what improper contact with Russia that Trump had prior to the election?

There is a fucking transition team that works from the day after the election until Jan. 20th for the new administration.

Of course the POTUS ELECT may have a reason to speak to foreign diplomats during the transition process.

Again, When is Trump going to jail, and for what specific crimes?

She is Trump going to jail, and for what specific crimes?
 
See, I can do what Bozo Billy Bob can't:

constitutional power to make any decisions on behalf of the Executive Branch.

What’s the Trump/Putin connection and how did they rig the election?

It’s been nearly 14 months, what’s the specific evidence as you see it?

I’m asking you, because you are always correct. You correctly predicted that Trump would win the election, didn’t you?

It’s because you are smarter than we are.
 
You’re too stupid to understand sarcasm...

You're too stupid to understand I see you as an ignorant fuck, and give you not a shred of seriousness or cred.

All I see is a Major Anus.

Yea. That’s what I thought.

You are smarter than me. You knew Trump was going to win...you smart guy.

What specific evidence do you see of a Trump/Putin collusion to rig the election?

You want Trump impeached, but you can’t articulate why he should be impeached....because you are smart.
 
Everyone notice how Billy Bob bumpkin does not cite the exact verbiage of "the law" -- or the opinion of the court which says what he says....?
I posted the Case law... and you ignore it...

Go away Snowflake.... Your disingenuous and a skank..
No, you cited the name (only) of a 1998 court case regarding Presidential Communications Privilege, and did not cite the verbiage which backs up your statement that it applies to presidents-elect.

Can you do that?

Betcha can't/

When will Trump go to jail and for what crimes?

You want Trump impeached...so lay out the case for impeachment for us.

You are the smart one...educate us on why Trump should be impeached for colluding with Putin to rig the election.

^^^^ See? This is where Billo Bobby runs away.

Watch as he shows us he's not able to cite "the law" as he calls it, or the wording in the DC Court case....cuz he can't.

Watch everyone.
 
The GSA is a government agency. The emails in question were sent through government accounts on government servers. There is no expectation of privacy.

You lose again, rubes
_______________________________

This is the most ridiculous excuse I have come across.

The White House is a government agency. The FBI is a government agency. The Supreme Court is a Government Agency.

What do you suppose would happen if one of these decided to snatch the private and PRIVILEGED communications of one of the others.

I am constantly amazed how complete the Dumb-assery is in the Liberal Bolshevik Democrat World.

Mueller needed to serve a Warrant on the GSA; with a copy to the Trump Transition Team. Justify why he needs the info...give the Trump Team an chance to show why he doesn't; and even if he is entitled to some--he is never entitled to privileged communications---like those with the lawyers of the Trump Campaign

Dumb-Asses galore.

______
Muellers team requested the emails back in August. If anybody had objections, they had plenty of time to go through the proper channels.

Stop whining.
 
Paper knows he is full of shit.

Come on paper...tell us when Trump will go to prison and what the evidence is that Putin and Trump rigged the election.

You are smart. We are dumb. Educate us.

Will you please tell th Progs to also stop whining?

They are setting world records for whining since the election.

Maybe you can help your buddy paper out.

When is Trump going to jail and what is the evidence that Trump and Putin rigged the election?
 
The snowflakes/Progs/Dems really seem to have a tough time articulating when and why Trump should be removed from Office.

It’s been nearly 16 months since the election....with no evidence of Trump and Putin rigging the election.
