@@dyxifltline You should do better research. Because people who believe everything they read, put out by the mainstream media are idiots. Trump failed to mention his medical deferment when he told ABC News on July 19, 2015, that he was never drafted because the draft lottery went into effect and his birthday came with a high number. "If I would have gotten a low number, I would have been drafted. I would have proudly served," he said. "But I got a number, I think it was 356. That’s right at the very end.

If the courts start issuing orders that are ignored, that's when things will hit the fan. At that point, expect an IMMEDIATE all-out assault on our First Amendment rights. But until then, there is still some hope.
If the transcript is accurate, it cannot be the case that the recording is in some way sensitive or secret, given its contents are already in the public realm. On the other hand, if it is inaccurate there may be a reason for it to be sensitive or secret in the way it is claimed. And if it is inaccurate the question is why is it so. 🤔
We’re just so fed up with all the polite “aww golly shucks”, rhetoric. DO SOMETHING and hold criminals accountable, since NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!

Conceptually, the doctrine of executive privilege may well reflect different considerations in different factual situations. Congress may seek information within the possession of the President in the course of exercising its investigatory powers;4 government prosecutors may seek information in the course of investigating and prosecuting crimes;5 and private parties may seek information in the possession of the President for use as evidence in either a criminal or civil proceeding.6 In all of these contexts, the courts have generally assessed any asserted privilege by weighing the President’s need for confidentiality against the interests of the party seeking the information.7
We need GORT to visit Earth and make corrections .
