re: #256 KGxvi

Regarding Trump’s threatened law suit, I mentioned this the other day, but it bears repeating…

Even assuming that executive privilege would be applicable under these facts (and that’s not a guarantee since we’re talking about potential criminal acts by the president), the moment Trump published the letter saying that Comey informed him three times that he wasn’t under investigation, Trump waived the privilege. He made it a matter of public interest and dialog. Trump can’t now claim that Comey is a leaker when he was actually the one to make the issue public.

As an attorney, do you think Trump’s attorney is that incompetent or he’s humoring Trump by going through with this?
