"Privilege" my flabby ass!

Sessions refused to answer when "preemptively" claiming executive privilege. He had NO authority for this but, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN AGAINST HIM.

Don Jr. refused to answer, claiming attorney-client privilege simply because an attorney was in the room when he spoke to daddy. This is flat ridiculous, but, again, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN!

Yesterday, Pusgut(Bannon) refused to answer because Trump directed him not to. Despite sloppy reporting to the contrary, Trump did not actually claim executive privilege. So far, NO ACTION TAKEN!

What was all that noise about "rule of law" in my high school civics class?
