I was specifically referring to during the impeachment hearings in the House. I followed them pretty closely and I don't remember the WH actually invoking EP over any of the witnesses that testified. Like I said, there is a process. When the privilege is invoked (in writing), there are usually bac...

Yeah. It says that the WH attempted to use EP. And that they tried to limit what Fiona Hill could say to Congress. It also says that the White House did not try to block her from testifying but told her lawyers about areas that could fall under executive privilege. That sounds like warnings. They...

Why did Anita Hill's attorneys object to Trump invoking EP? Can you explain what this - from the link I have provided twice - says? The Trump White House has a long record of using claims of executive privilege to evade congressional questioning. Most recently, on Oct. 14, the administration atte...

Your link says overuse of EP was not in the final draft - not that it matters. You and I are not arguing the CORRECTNESS of Trump's position. We are arguing the fact that you misstated it. You claimed he never invoked EP. But your own link says that Hill's attorneys objected to him invoking... C...

Only because he resigned, but the Articles of Impeachment were drawn up, and Contempt of Congress was one of them....

I don't think it's that simple. There is a whole process they must go through. What Is the Process for Asserting Executive Privilege? Lots of questions have been raised about why certain executive branch officials testifying in recent weeks didn’t answer certain questions. The process through wh...

In the rough draft - not in the one that replaced it. Neither were submitted to the Senate, so no - it was not used against Nixon. Nixon was not impeached....

It was good enough to use against Nixon. On July 30, the final day of its impeachment debate, Article III, charging Nixon with contempt of Congress for his defiance of eight Judiciary Committee subpoenas, issued during April, May and June 1974, was introduced by Robert McClory, and was approved by ...

I linked it already. Telling his minion not to testify on the ground of executive privilege is how it is invoked. How, in YOUR imagination, is executive privilege invoked? Should he wait until AFTER she testified to instruct her not to? And why did Hill's attorneys challenge Trump's claim of execu...

Yeah, that's invoking it....
