WH counselor Kellyanne Conway says “executive privilege is always an option. It’s always on the table,” when asked by JakeTapper if President Trump will try to block former WH counsel Don McGahn to testify before Congress.CNNSotu

It comes as Trump scales up his attacks on Mueller and the report he produced -- broadsides and claims that some view as damaging to an overall legal strategy of asserting executive privilege to prevent key aides from appearing before Congress.Some West Wing officials have conceded that the President's tweets disputing McGahn's account are not helpful to their case, and fear it could make it more difficult to assert privilege over a conversation that Trump denies occurred.

Trump denies trying to fire Mueller, despite McGahn's testimony under oath 02:46Some close to the President deny he's muddying his legal options."The President is allowed to express his opinions on Twitter without affecting his rights and privileges," one source told CNN's Jim Acosta.And a Trump legal team source told Acosta the President is in"no legal jeopardy" when he offers his opinion on the Mueller probe.

jaketapper JacobSokol Why isn't a journalist out there in the courts asking about getting an expedited process for Trump/Congress. Why are they so inflexible and prevent obtaining justice for the American Justice. Is the Judiciary an island unto itself - outside everything?

jaketapper executive privilege has been used by every president-usual negative spin by CNN

jaketapper Deplorable as usual.

jaketapper Wow what are these people trying to hide?

jaketapper Only presidents with something to hide, hide behind executive privilege.

jaketapper How many times did Obama do it

jaketapper I am glad Kellyanne goes on CNN just to confirm what a lunatic she is.

jaketapper I've had it with CNN having her on. Stop letting her come and lie. She can do that over on Fox.

jaketapper She is a joke and does not deserve air time.

jaketapper Kellyklan Conwoman is so predictable

jaketapper I can remember Jeb Bush saying the economy would never see a 2.0 economy growth he said it would be a struggle. And Lookie what the President Trump has done.

jaketapper Some one should have told Kellyanne that she really should give the Hubby a call about that statement.

jaketapper What’s dark & spooky, Kelly A, are the bags under your eyes. Direct? Yes, but you repeatedly protect our LYING, AMORAL pres with “ALTERNATIVE FACTS” & NEVER point out or apologize for his deceit & indecency. It’s why your husband speaks out in disgust against you & BFF Trump.

jaketapper Not when SAID PERSON HAS ALREADY TESTIFIED ON THE SUBJECT....too late to seek privileged now....

jaketapper Can he ask any dumber questions?

jaketapper Executive privilege does not apply since he is not a WH counsel anymore. He’s a ordinary citizen now.

jaketapper Quit wasting time with this fool.

jaketapper Resist why do u bother having kelly Anne on. We don’t want to see her. She and all her cronies drank the Kool-Aid. She talks like we are the enemy. For few seconds she is normal then once confronted she talks 100mph. Can’t watch news..too upsetting.

jaketapper

jaketapper A republic or a dictatorship run by a greedy petty scumbag. The American public has to make up their mind and soon because the doorway to doing the right thing is closing quickly

jaketapper Transparency my ass!!!

jaketapper

jaketapper

jaketapper Cnn needs to get this shit a rest

jaketapper Especially when you're covering up and lying..

jaketapper What is her job? I know she worked on election but what do taxpayers pay her to do?

jaketapper Doesn't matter if you're a criminal

jaketapper So transparent!

jaketapper McGhan testifies -30-hours in Mueller Investigation - Snapperneck Schiff doesn’t get one additional SECOND

jaketapper Face lift or Botox, no change in Kellyanne, she will remain frozen in time.

jaketapper We need to look at executive impeachment.

jaketapper No, it’s not an option idiot in chief has been openly talking about this testimony in public. What she means is we can delay this for a long time by claiming executive privilege before a court tells us it doesn’t apply.

jaketapper Tradition does not outweigh the law. If it did, we would have all sorts of havoc on society. My traditions might interfere w/ your safety. I might have the tradition of roasting marshmallows over open campfire every night. Doing that in an apartment could kill lots of people

jaketapper Why we have remote controls.

jaketapper There is a difference between ' Executive Privilege ' and ' Dictatorship ' ---RIGHT

jaketapper Executive privilege is like virginity. You don't get a do over.

jaketapper How is it being considered as obstruction when what he supposedly asked this person to do wasn’t done? Are we going to start indicting on people’s thoughts?

jaketapper

jaketapper Fake news

jaketapper Because Enough is Enough of Democratic Circus! No Obstruction No Collusion!! Your Nonsense Needs To 🛑!! Is Time For Republicans to Block Stupid & Needless Never Ending Investigatory Coup! Time to Fight Stupidity! America First!!!!

jaketapper There isn't anything she or the White House can do about that.

jaketapper

jaketapper No, it isn’t.

jaketapper I CANNOT TAKE IT!!!!!!

jaketapper Can he use executive privilege for this?

jaketapper realDonaldTrump NOTHING THAT THIS CESSPOOL OF AN ADMINISTRATION SAYS IS ACCURATE NOR THE TRUTH

jaketapper Kellyanne has a bright future as a spokesperson in any of the following industries : Fracking Near Grade Schools Promotion, Restaurant Greasetrap Services, Cigarette/Vaping Sales, Opioid Promotion, Asbestos for the Next Generation! kellyanne cnn AmericansForImpeachment

jaketapper If she shows her face on your network by your invitation again, I'm done with you for good. Disgraceful insanity.

jaketapper McGahn has already testified in front of Congress. How dumb do Democrats have to be to believe this garbage?

jaketapper

jaketapper When you have habitual liars on your programs repeatedly, you're no better than they are.

jaketapper Why does cnn bother with interviewing her..timewasted cantgetback brokenrecord

jaketapper You cannot speak to closed-minded idiots! Don’t give time for propaganda !!!

jaketapper There should be a live debate between the Conways on Prime Time. That would be something.

jaketapper No credibility Kellyanne

jaketapper There is absolutely no reason for to continue to allow the Trump gaslighters to have a platform dobetter

jaketapper There is NO Executive Privilege. His testimony is already public. Donald Trump can’t claim Executive Privilege on anything. He allowed FOX hosts to listen in on meetings, others to come into meetings. NICE TRY LYING KellyannePolls

jaketapper Kellyanne Conway...*click*

jaketapper Trump gave permission to McGann to appear before the Special Counsel. The House request to interview McGann is an extension of what the Special Counsel report reveals. McGann should appear before the subcommittee to answer questions about his testimony to the Special Counsel.🇺🇸

jaketapper The comment section on cnn post are like if the dmv and a nursing home had a low t baby

jaketapper Why is she even on tv. She’s a pathological liar like trump.

jaketapper Why is she on any Sunday serious show. Have some standards and do not promote her spreading her alternate facts. She is a royal mess.

jaketapper Ms Conway is such a fine lady! How dare you belittle her on TV like this. She does what she can to educate the youth. Shes doing better job than Obama!!

jaketapper Hope so ..

jaketapper

jaketapper I’ve stopped watching CNN for this reason, you keep allowing her on to spew the lies. Now I cannot get away from it on my feed.

jaketapper KellyannePolls so ignorant she doesn’t realize (or ignores) privilege has already been waived. But just keep spewing ur *alternative facts.*

jaketapper KellyannePolls it wasn’t so much of an option for Nixon. Keeping your boss in check is the Constitutional duty of Congress, when laws have been broken-as they have been-and the occupant of the WH is the one breaking them the law limits his/her ability to hide behind such things

jaketapper Read the chyron, that’s the real news story...

jaketapper Can we get a liedetector everyone in the white house? Starting with 45

jaketapper Unwatchable !!! Stop with her

jaketapper Her hair looks pretty that way

jaketapper DerangedDonald sycophant DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald

jaketapper

jaketapper Trump doesn't need to call CNN fakenews anymore because Kellyanne Conway is on two weeks in a row. FakeNewsMedia FreePress RESIST WhenYoureAStarTheyLetYouDoIt

jaketapper What makes this skank think McGhan has to comply with this bogus Executive privilege? Trump thinks he’s above the law. Let’s prove him wrong. McGhan has The First Amendment behind him.

jaketapper I understand that CNN wants to be even handed and that is why you need to have opposing views on the show. But granting this serial liar a forum to continue to gaslight the country is wrong. She won’t even admit the sky is blue.

jaketapper Giving her airtime is one of the reasons I no longer watch CNN.

jaketapper Wow! She and the POTUS love to throw around the words “Presidential harassment”. If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black. This president has harassed more women, insulted and threatened more nationalities, immigrants, and minorities.

jaketapper No it’s not you idiot. McGahn was already interviewed by Mueller and his statements are part of the report. Executive privilege isn’t selective based on the audience. It exists or it doesn’t . They need to stop bringing the propaganda machine on tv.

jaketapper PLEASE stop giving her air time. I immediately turn it off when I hear her nonstop rhetoric and rude interruptions. Next time, turn her around so we can see the key on her back that winds her up.

jaketapper Please stop having KellyannePolls on your network. No one wants to hear her rudely talk constantly and trying to spread lies. I always change the channel when she is on. And I’ve read so many similar comments this morning I’m surprised CNN doesn’t listen.

jaketapper Can he use executive privilege to block subpoenas and what's he hiding

jaketapper You should be ashamed of yourself, Kelleyann.

jaketapper It’s actually NOT since McGahn testified multiple times to Mueller jaketapper KellyAnneConway

jaketapper I cant be the only man who finds kelly-Anne Conway sexy and strangely desirable. 😳 You know she probably talks politics during sex but that would be ok with me. 😎

jaketapper This clown needs to b muted!!!! Makes america look bad every times she opens her big mouth!!!!

jaketapper How much more transparency can we handle(sarcasm) ? LOL, nothing but excuses w/o solutions come from the GOP. ImpeachThePeach ! 2ndBlueWave2020 !

jaketapper To a Dictator everything is an option! We also will exercise the Option to Vote the incompetent Idiot out in 2020!

jaketapper Why give someone a platform to lie? Keep such parasites off

jaketapper Here she comes again to lie on CNN

jaketapper George, how do you do it?

jaketapper CNN...we are sick of seeing KellyAnne. She is a disgusting liar like all of the other Trumpettes. They are gross and loud and all they know how to do is throw insults at former administrations. It's just so stupid and ridiculous.

jaketapper Did Jake Blow question Hussein or just blow?

jaketapper McGahn was allowed to speak to Mueller freely. If privilege wasn’t asserted then, it cannot retroactively be asserted now. KellyannePolls either knows this and is deliberately misleading people, or she is ignorant. I don’t think she’s ignorant.

jaketapper CNN stop allowing this propagandist airtime!

jaketapper Executive privilege a tool to fight back the constant congressional harassment. When congress starts doing their job it would be a different story. Trump should brush these ill intentioned shrills off his shoulder and move on. Congress want to be taken seriously act like it

jaketapper You mean like when Obama used “Executive Privilege” to cover up details from his Fast and Furious scandal from Congress?🤔

jaketapper Dear Network Producers and Bookers, PLEASE stop giving this woman air time. You absolutely have to know she’ll bring nothing to the interview desk but deception, evasion, and pure propaganda. She may be an easy get, but you’re doing the nation a disservice. You can do better.

jaketapper

jaketapper

jaketapper Lots of snowflakes with TDS on this thread. MAGA WINNING WINNING WINNING

jaketapper The Trump administration has an inflated and at times delusional conception of executive privillege... which may or may not apply to McGahn's testimony.

jaketapper Translation : another purgery trap cult45

jaketapper I 9:19 SAW Q HEEL/HEAL ON 185 MI HELE L O(FC) U IS 'EJ ONE S MEANS U CAN HEEL/HEAL ME

jaketapper Whenever Kellyann Con talks, this 👇🏼 is my thought.

jaketapper Why why why why do you continue to give this abhorrent woman a platform. Nails on a chalkboard and always disrespectful and condescending ... you are losing the very few viewers you have left!

jaketapper Shame on CNN and Jake for continuing to promote Trump and his lying sycophants. I don't watch anymore for this very reason.

jaketapper Quit bringing this person on TV, she's a lying, complicit monster. Just stop.

jaketapper Mcgahn is a private citizen he can't block him

jaketapper But... they already let him testify, so they've waived executive privilidge.

jaketapper Looks like more of Trumps enablers will be going to jail then. Ok.

jaketapper WHEN DRUNK BURRITO SUPREMES WITH MILD SAUCE WAS GOOD

jaketapper Trump blocking these people from testifying is obstruction Kellyanne motormouth Conway deflects never answers a question what do they have to hide obstruction in our face

jaketapper McGahn must testify before Congress in a public setting for all Americans to see if his sworn testimony in the Mueller is perjured or deranged realDonaldTrump is lying and deceiving the American people again. This isn’t Putin’s Russia, we expect our President to be honest!

jaketapper I ATE ONE TIME YESTERDAY THE TORTILLAS THE DAY BRFORE BLOOTED ME TACO DOESNT DO THAT

jaketapper Funny thing is Obama used executive privilege all the time.

jaketapper 69,000 at the Trump rally last night, OMG amazing!!!!!!!

jaketapper Poor George.....

jaketapper Every interview I have seen Kellyanne in has been annoying to my ears. All she does is argue. Why is she invited to deflect and lie about Trump? Waste of time. ImpeachDonaldTrump

jaketapper Then again the WH could just ignore like Eric Holder did.

jaketapper She never answers questions that are asked. Please stop having her on CNN.

jaketapper White House KellyannePolls is almost as bad a pathological liar as DerangedDonald

jaketapper I H MEANING OF I H 9:10 SAW OUR Q WH ON 215 TAM MY H O(FC) II IS DAN H OEYESIIEYESO WAY ERIC H OOGE VE(EVERY) EN

jaketapper So if the POTUS can ignore subpoenas and the legal justice of the land——- so can anyone else—-NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW—-actually Executive Order has been the only means of Trumps negotiation skills.

jaketapper Executive privilege doesn't apply to private citizens.

jaketapper Can this empty vessel ever just answer a question? The answers no, because she’s a terrible person and works for an even worse one. Honest people don’t have to spin until their brains are scrambled.

jaketapper I wouldn’t call Trump an “Executive” in even the broadest sense of the word

jaketapper We the poeple movement when some privileged people aren’t doing there job is also an option. The prez is known for firing inefficient staff, I have seen his show. Truth is always an option too. Always. An. Option. Truth. Only problem is that it relies on perception...darn.

jaketapper Would anyone let their lawyer tell all about anything in their life?

jaketapper Executive privilege is always on the table. Really bitch ? Not for anything in his 30 hrs of testimony to the Mueller team. The Genie is already out of the bottle and Orange Droolius can't close it with his phony ass 'executive privilege' claims.

jaketapper No, he waived that...

jaketapper So is resigning? KellyannePolls

jaketapper Any loop hole he can find he will use.

jaketapper

jaketapper Translation: Obstructing Justice is always on the table.

jaketapper Stop inviting her on

jaketapper Love President Trump!

jaketapper That's what guilty people do

jaketapper I kept wanting to give her a tissue through the tv. Hmm, did she even know her nose was running?

jaketapper Too Late....but Please keep Hangin yourselves!!!!!!

jaketapper Trump already waived executive privilege. Sure Kellyannpolls

jaketapper My understanding is that McGahn could also say 'Kiss my ass Kellyanne' and do it anyway. He's a private citizen now.

jaketapper Ugh. Not again with this quack..

jaketapper Executive Privilege was already waived as I understand it. He's already spoken to Mueller's investigators

jaketapper If CNN really wanted to boost their ratings they'd have both gtconway3d and KellyannePolls on the show opposing one another. fireworks

jaketapper Does Kellyanne leave the broom she flies in on in the green room? 🤔

jaketapper Stop it with these liar interviews

jaketapper McGahn will never testify in front of congress. Dems can pitch a hissy fit but Executive Privilege is a real thing.

jaketapper How can it be executive privilage if McGhan has already testified?

jaketapper FrightenedOrangeChicken

jaketapper Kellyanne should've done her homework. Trump already waived exec privilege.

jaketapper cnn can you stop putting these liars on your show. It’s getting hard to watch your show. I’m trying to understand why?

jaketapper duh

jaketapper I have questions? donlemon KellyannePolls PowaySynagogue ImThatJew

jaketapper Stop talking to that 🤬
