choice. she had her lawyers clap back at the white house, rejecting any argument that executive privilege would apply to the very things that she was going to discuss and pointedly noting that even if executive privilege could apply, which as i mentioned in normal times it could, she went to the heart of the issue and said that privilege would still, quote, disappear altogether when there's any reason to believe government misconduct occurred. adding, prior presidents have largely agreed that executive privilege operates differently in the context of an impeachment inquiry. wow. that is spoken like someone more concerned about getting their evidence before the impeachment inquiry than trying to hold on to a government career. hill's deposition took place behind closed doors, but even from the little that we got through reporting about what she said, it is still reverberating all across washington. if her lawyer's letter was abnormal and tough, her actual testimony blew the roof off.
