re: #119 Targetpractice

Philbin basically argues that it does because Boltonā€™s conversations with Trump are privileged, so he canā€™t be expected to testify on privileged conversations.

He canā€™t be forced to, but everything Iā€™ve read says the President cannot invoke Executive Privilege to stop someone who wants to from testifying, nor to stop them from answering any question. Witnesses may refuse to answer questions by invoking executive privilege, but thatā€™s different.
