4. Who dropped a dime? Trump’s lawyers have been talking to DOJ, reportedly about executive privilege, although there are reasons to believe there’s more to those talks, because the executive privilege claims are bogus and it’s not clear what there is to talk about. Under the Constitution, there’s only one president at a time, so Trump has no claim to executive privilege at the moment; Joe Biden does. That was the decision the lower courts reached (and the Supreme Court let stand) when Trump tried to use executive privilege to withhold official documents from the House January 6th Committee. Trump’s further claims of executive privilege would serve only to drag out the legal process and delay the Justice Department effort. Meanwhile, his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and a number of other Trumpworld underbosses seem to be in hot water (Trump’s lawyers reportedly told him not to talk to Meadows anymore), and it would be surprising if at least a few weren’t cooperating with DOJ to minimize their personal exposure. After all, Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson told the Jan. 6th Committee that she saw Meadows burning documents after meeting with Rep. Scott Perry.
