    The law is a violation of executive privilege and was never intended to apply to the President, let it play out in the courts.

    Because Obama, Hillary, Biden and Hunter Biden. That's why.

    Trump has two tricks he uses to justify tyranny. The first is the use of executive privilege when it doesn't apply. The second is to declare national emergencies. When he does this, there is no check on his powers, and that is what the founders feared. So you are endorsing a tyrant.

    Asking a foreign government to investigate possible corruption is tyranny?

    Go lay down before you’re overcome with a case of the vapors.

    Let me guess you had no problem with Obama using our intelligence agencies to spy on the Trump campaign.

    In your words. Who exactly can use executive privilege other than the president?

    A president who is withholding military aid from a country repeatedly pressuring said country to reopen a closed investigation on the family of his political rival for political purposes is the definition of abuse of power. Reportedly the complaint also deals with a promise being made which could be the second part of the quid pro quo. If this situation was reversed and the Ukrainian President was pushing Trump to investigate his rivals Ukraine would be shut down and people would be filling the streets until the corrupt presidential was removed.

    There is no point in using logical reasoning with Trump supporters (they let his behavior go, just 'cuz). But I was curious how they justify it. There is of course no justification to withhold a whistleblower complaint to Congress, which is what Pelosi is basically saying.

    The matter could be cleared up with the lawful release of the complaint.
