Hakeem Jeffries: Trump’s Clearly Waived Exec. Privilege in Regards to Comey with Tweeting

RUSH EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: "It would not surprise me if the White House attempted to invokes executive privilege. This is a White House who has specialized in obstruction, obfuscation and trying to keep information away from the American people but I think there is no basis for executive privilege to be invoked and no threat of a court actually agreeing with the White House for one simple reason, that the executive privilege has been waived to the extent it ever existed because of the president of the United States because in three different ways he’s tried to publicly characterize his conversations with Jim Comey. After firing the FBI director in a letter, that letter characterized conversations according to the president’s version of events between himself and Comey saying that Comey had publicly or had exonerated trump personally in their communications. He then goes, meaning the president, on national television and characterizes his conversations with James Comey again, and then on the president’s preferred vehicle of communication, Twitter, on multiple occasions he has characterized his version of events vis-a-vis conversations between Donald Trump and James copy and so he has clearly waived any executive privilege that might otherwise have existed.
