Psaki was asked if Biden volition regret not invoking enforcement privilege for Trump, and she answered:
I can guarantee you that the president has nary volition to lead an insurrection connected our nation’s capitol.
…
We talked astir this past week arsenic well. It is important for radical to recognize and retrieve that January 6th was an incredibly acheronian day. One of the darkest days successful our democracy. It was an insurrection connected our nation’s capital. What we are talking astir is getting to the bottommost of that.
Shouldn’t everybody privation to get to the bottommost of the? Democrats, Republicans, are radical with nary governmental affiliation whatsoever. I volition reiterate that we are going to measure and reappraisal arsenic is the modular successful the process, the documents, and immoderate efforts to exert enforcement privilege connected a case-by-case basis. And we volition supply you updates connected those arsenic those processes proceed.
And we volition continue, arsenic it relates to enforcement privilege, for different issues to measure that connected a case-by-case ground arsenic each achromatic location has successful the past. But I deliberation if you look backmost astatine past presidents, antiauthoritarian and Republican, determination isn’t truly a precedent for what we are talking astir with the prime committee. And what they are trying to get to the bottommost of. And the uniqueness of that, I think, is an important context.
Presidents Who Try To Overthrow The Government Don’t Get Help With Executive Privilege.
Psaki is right. The attempted overthrow of the authorities is simply a unsocial case. The occupation is that the media is equating the 1/6 onslaught arsenic authorities arsenic usual. The question itself does not differentiate betwixt a modular legislature probe and an insurrection.
Psaki is right. Our ideology is astatine stake, and Biden is putting our state up of enforcement governmental power.
