No.  What the Ds want is testimony from the National Security Advisor over direct communications that he had with the President.  Do you realize how harmful that would be for the rest of our future?  Presidents have to keep things secret in case a hostile congress impeaches for the usual political anger.  No one would want that standard, at least not applied to Presidents of their own party. 

That’s true, except if it involves concealing evidence of suspected wrongdoing by the president. If there is a reasonable belief that this has occurred then Congress has the right to investigate and obtain that information.  The president cannot hide behind privilege if he has done wrong.  Otherwise Congress’ constitutional authority would be diminished and the president’s activities would be unchecked. That’s exactly what is happening in this case.

Communications the President commented on in public therefor can no longer be protected under executive privilege

Your tidbit that some Rs signed off on the firing of the UKR prosecutor who wanted to look into Burisma.  As if any of them knew who he was...  They knew who Shokin was. A corrupt prosecutor who never prosecuted a single case and used his position to extort money out of the wealthy. That's why he was fired.

OMG.....that's funny. 

 

So...this is the excuse their coming up with? So....everyone in the EU and IMF didn't read it either nor know who he was?

And.....you do understand that he was pressed to be fired because he was NOT investigating Burisma....right?  You do know that's why all of our European allies wanted him fired too....right???

Please tell me you understand that.

 

Oh...this is priceless.

 

You might want to go read the link I provided to you in the other thread on the Biden issue.

In case you didn't hear @Decoy73...

 

You know what else is harmful for the future, Joe? A president and administration that KEEP CRIMING and then try to claim Congress has no right to investigate it. Executive privilege does not cover illegal behavior bud.

 

But by god. If you believe the bold, Hillary Clinton should've just hunkered down and refused to comply with an obviously politically motivated set of investigations into Benghazi. Obama should've told the GOP to pound sand. After all, hostile Congress, secret information, right?

 

Alas, as I've pointed out before, HRC obviously has a bigger set of testicles than your boy. Must sting knowing that, huh?

 

Good lord your arguments are made in absurdly bad faith at this point.

Maybe if Rand, a GD Libertarian of all things, cared about the whistleblower's right to protection from persecution for blowing the whistle, would phrase his question differently instead of trying to out them, he wouldn't have anything to bellyache about.

 

Unless he just wants to out them and that's the point.

 

Rand Paul is a frequent disappointment. At least his dad actually walked the walk. Rand is just a douche coasting on his dad's coattails.

It’s really not hard to imagine why Rand’s neighbor just decided to beat the sh!t out of him one day.
