If nothing else happens, this makes Sessions look weak, which brings us that much closer to Trump firing him for his own bizarre egotistical reasons.

SoSimpleABeginning posted:Can someone explain the significance of getting Sessions to admit that he is invoking Executive Privilege? The White House desperately does not want to take the Fifth, and by dancing around like a drunken chihuahua around these questions and continually saying "Well, I'm waiting for the President to assert privilege," but then essentially saying that he's invoking privilege that he literally doesn't have, it makes both him and the White House look dirty as hell.

The right isn't his to claim, and reserving it for the president to claim later is in effect invoking it himself.
