Executive privilege does not apply for Trump anymore!

Why does executive privilege even exist? Anyone in this country should be held accountable for their crimes, president or not.

[anettebarrett]

How long is he allowed to continue with this … it’s so disgusting

[Rockingcreations]

We haven't had a clean President in decades. Including Trump but his policies sure made it easier to provide for our families and live a more prosperous life. This fool we have now is a joke.

[theinvisibleswordsman]

Wouldn't it be grand if he finally had to face consequences for his actions for the first time EVER?

[delfycontreras]

He is the most despicable person we had in the WH!

[customcleaners]

I Pray everything comes put in the open . The American people have a right to know the truth.

Our country needs trump and his co-conspirators to be held accountable and to the same standards as everyone else.

So basically if you ever hold any political office you’re above the law, got it. Glad we’ve, as citizens, been lied to our entire lives that no one is above the law.
