Overdose deaths?! You know what'd solve overdose deaths? You know what'd get rid of cartels and gangs?

LEGALIZATION AND REGULATION OF DRUGS! I never knew how much this guys loving sucks.

But what about all the minorities that would go unimprisoned under such a scheme? What about that? You didn't consider that aspect, did you. Checkmate

But it sounds like he's telling Collins otherwise, unless I zoned out a bit and missed some context

well, it turns out that literally everything that might bear on that question is covered by executive privilege

You mean DoJ rules, which the head of the DoJ who has control over such things is mysteriously unable to do anything about

sessions has hosed up baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadly here

he has said that he's giving Trump the chance to review the question and decide to invoke executive privilege, so now he's thrown Trump under the bus who now must assert it or not

Which is super hosed up btw. If executive privilege hasn't been invoked, answer the loving question, it's not your call to withhold that hoping Trump covers your rear end along with his own

Can someone explain the significance of getting Sessions to admit that he is invoking Executive Privilege?

He can't, only Trump can.

Unfortunately for both of them this put Trump on the spot to do so or not

fishing with the fam posted:

Apparently this isn't true anymore. Sessions is invoking it out of the possibility it may be invoked at any point in the future.

Should he be held in contempt for this and just isn't?

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