What a sad day it is when Jeff Sessions is the "ethical" Attorney General.
Can you explain what article II power you believe would be usurped by Congress receiving grand jury testimony, specifically?
He gave unlawful orders. That is grounds for impeachment.LOL. Trump repeatedly tried to obstruct justice but was too incompetent to get his subordinates to carry it out.
This report is absolutely damning.
Congress has no more “absolute right” to it than they do to transcripts of SCOTUS deliberations between justices while deciding opinions.
I'll be expecting an apology from the Trump trolls any day now.

They can't even enter the thread as they haven't figured out how to deflect/spin it yet.
Moderately curious to what's going on at Fox right now, but not enough of a masochist to turn it on...
The fact that Grand Jury testimony would be the “property” of the judicial branch and thus under their domain to release or not release as they see fit under separation of powers. Congress has no more “absolute right” to it than they do to transcripts of SCOTUS deliberations between justices while deciding opinions.
What for? Trump has been exonerated. There is nothing to charge him for and any "evidence" is circumstantial (and projection, really) at best. You can whine all you want, but at the end of the day I was right again, AT P&N was wrong again. There will not be an impeachment, there is nothing to charge him on, you will have to actually try and win an election to get a Democrat in. You lost this one, nothing more to it than that.
Any day now by the patriots...He gave unlawful orders. That is grounds for impeachment.

so you are saying:What for? Trump has been exonerated. There is nothing to charge him for and any "evidence" is circumstantial (and projection, really) at best.

If that were the case then Congress would similarly be unable to pass a law that mandated grand jury testimony be kept secret, yet as per your own link SCOTUS upheld that unanimously.
So nope, try again. Remember - Congress' right is ABSOLUTE.
See above, the department of justice disagrees with you. I quote: The grand jury cannot achieve its constitutional purpose absent protection from corrupt acts. - The whole theory of the grand jury's function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people. If the grand jury were not protection against corrupt interference from all persons, its function as an independent charging body would be thwarted.The fact that Grand Jury testimony would be the “property” of the judicial branch and thus under their domain to release or not release as they see fit under separation of powers. Congress has no more “absolute right” to it than they do to transcripts of SCOTUS deliberations between justices while deciding opinions.
Shut up, moron.What for? Trump has been exonerated. There is nothing to charge him for and any "evidence" is circumstantial (and projection, really) at best. You can whine all you want, but at the end of the day I was right again, AT P&N was wrong again. There will not be an impeachment, there is nothing to charge him on, you will have to actually try and win an election to get a Democrat in. You lost this one, nothing more to it than that.
Certainly so, but will the senate convict? What's the political ramifications if they don't? I have a suspicion, on the surface, that the democrats would suffer more for impeaching without subsequent conviction than the Republicans for not convicting. Maybe.so you are saying:
There appears to be enough here for the house to draft articles.....
Then separation of powers doesn't exist if your interpretation is correct which is worse than Congress potentially not getting grand jury testimony.
I'm sure that apology will happen about the same time Trump apologizes to the Central Park 5.
We await your apology.
