They won't address the issue, they will deflect to some other topic

They probably won't, because he did use executive privilege to shield Eric Holder's email.

But this only illustrates the problem with both sides, imo... each criticizes the other side for something that their side has also done. In this case, the OP's criticism cuts against Obama, but it cuts both ways.

Wrong.

Show me a single Republican that wildly protested the 14 times Impeached Former President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton claimed executive privilege, in the same measure democrats are right now against Trump. I'll give you a head start on how wild and bat-shit crazy the Republicans went upon receiving the news :

"As a practical matter, the committee's Republicans have already indicated that they do not think the privilege ought to apply."

HOLY OUT OF CONTROL, BATMAN!!

That was nuts! What were the Republicans thinking?!?

Ahhhhh, I think you said the same thing I said, but then ignorantly said I was wrong.

I'll go more slowly this time... both sides are equally guilty when it comes to this charade of ignorance. So, I'm saying it about Republicans and Democrats. The fact that I ascribe this undesirable trait to both parties, which absolutely means your party, is probably what has your panty in a twist.

Still wrong.

You attempted to paint an equivalence to a wildly out of balance situation. I demonstrated you were wrong by pulling a quote from an article written by the NY Times which contained the Republican response to Impeached Former President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton claiming executive privilege. I note the profound lack of the words "Constitutional crisis" in the Republican response, not to mention the complete lack of hysteria in general.

No matter what you post attempting to rebut my proof, you will still be wrong. You really should give up now as you cannot demonstrate any equivalence beyond you said so. No, saying so multiple times will never constitute proof.

Post proof of Republicans launching into hysterics every time a Democrat President claimed executive privilege, or admit you are utterly, completely, hysterically and totally wrong, then shut the hell up already about your delusional fantasy.
