Can he really not understand that it all makes him look guiltier? Or it is that he's so trapped that he's desperate?
Trump’s Abuse of Executive Privilege Is More Than a Present Danger
He’s making it harder for future presidents to govern
By Neal K. Katyal
President Trump has been on an executive privilege extravaganza. In the past month, he’s asserted it to block Congress from obtaining documents about the census citizenship question, invoked it to try to bar the full Mueller report from being given to Congress, and used it to bar his former White House counsel, Don McGahn, from providing documents to Congress. Executive privilege has a legitimate core, but Mr. Trump’s attempts are going to wind up undermining that core, and make it harder for future presidents to govern...
Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama invoked privilege only sparingly (six times for Bush, one for Obama)... In the teeth of a redacted report that all but labels Mr. Trump a criminal, the president’s claim to try to block the full Mueller report from coming out looks like he is trying to shield evidence of his wrongdoing.
What qualifications do you or the fake news media have to determine that President Trump is "abusing" executive privilege? None? Thought so. It's just a matter of you don't like that he has the power to do what Barry did, with leftists' blessing.

What's Trump done to hurt you with his executive privilege? You can't use those examples as anything except the never ending witch hunt by the Dems. None of those "orders" would have even been an issue were it not for people failing to accept the results of the 2016 election...by any means necessary.
