he should withdraw that plea, i agree especially in light of what the government did to a 33 year retired general, a war hero who served this country with honor and distinction. what they did is disgraceful. remember, flynn was illegally unmasked, they leaked raw intelligence on him and remember after trump was sworn in, day four of his administration, he sent agents to the white house to set a perjury trap, they already listen to the tape after the deputy fbi director said you don t need a lawyer. and comey brags about setting up a 33-year veteran? this is a national disgrace, this right here. you look at this white house now it s hard to imagine two fba agents ending up in the same room, how did that happen? i sent them. [laughter] something i probably wouldn t have done or gotten away with in

i think the more this continues to be in the press, we have known donald trump junior and others have been implicated in the mueller report. now the senate intelligence committee and other committees across the congress are diving deep in it. this is just the beginning. david jolly, i wanted to go to you. the senate intelligence committee is bipartisan and led by a republican. calling the president s son back is a big step. it is. recall when he fist announrst a the republican chairperson took a lot of heat who publicly admonished him who said this matter is done. i think the question around don junior being called back was this a platform he could clarify his previous testimony and i void any perjury trap or was this done to hold his feet to the fire and see if there was a lie that rises to the level of something meaningful for senate
it is no abuse of power, and the newly elected president, more importantly, people that were for the president trying to serve their country should not have to shell out tens and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees answering the same questions over and over and over again. and literally sit for a perjury trap. witnesses and documents, forget it. it is done. that will not be made available. this is the right decision from the president. the vast powers of our government should never be used two oppressed americans. and harass a sitting president, and cost the american taxpayers what is now a fifth investigation into the same topic. and by the way, president trump is not the first president to invoke executive privilege. although he did not do it with mueller. former president clinton did it a whopping 14 times. meanwhile, obama successfully utilized executive privilege blocking the request of document
