Jeremy Bash: Trump ‘Probably Doesn’t Really Know What Executive Privilege Is’

‘That’s not the way our system is supposed to work’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "I think the President is calling the shots. The President is saying that my Administration is not going to participate in congressional oversight. It’s not because he cares about the Constitution or he cares about some equity. He probably doesn’t even really know what executive privilege is. He just knows this is a losing political argument every moment that his Attorney General and these witnesses are before Congress. By the way, we should say that as citizens and as people who care about our constitutional order, that is an abomination. That is not the way our system is supposed to work."
