January 6 and Executive Privilege
Advisory Opinions - Un podcast de The Dispatch
It's executive privilege day on Advisory Opinions! After a brief update on the Texas abortion litigation, David and Sarah "dive right in" to a discussion of the January 6 commission subpoenas and the power of Donald Trump to use executive privilege to block testimony. Our hosts also talk about how "parents and pals" help debunk a Brett Kavanaugh conspiracy theory. And they wind up with a crazy clemency case that's likely to leave a man in prison because a Donald Trump sentence was just too ambiguous.

Administrator of General Services -Harvard Law “Can Donald Trump still assert executive privilege?” -2007 OLC memo -Don McGahn opinion -Mother Jones “Here’s the Truth About Brett Kavanaugh’s Finances” Learn more about your ad choices.
