Why didn't the awesome legal team of Trump go straight to the courts to argue their case?I find it cute you get your political news from Salon!
More signs of guilt: Trump's campaign was warned about Russia, and said nothing.
In the summer of 2016, the FBI was already investigating “pervasive connections” between Trump and the Russians:

He was warned. He was given an explanation. Nevertheless, he persisted.
They were told to report contacts and they set up meetings instead.
I don't even understand how his supporters can think there was nothing shady about the way they behaved. They were told by the FBI to immediately report any contact from Russians and instead they had dozens of contacts and meetings with Russians which they then later lied about and said they had no contacts with Russians. How is that not suspicious?! This thing where people do mental gymnastics to excuse anything Trump and his bozo team do is some fucked up shit. Originally Posted by Observing

Ergo, if you’re part of a transition team and your president elect hasn’t taken the oath of office... you don’t have executive privilege. One president at a time. Now you can still work for the government and use secure government devices, you know like plenty of people who work in government but not the executive. And when the agency you are using those devices from tells y’all that they will work with any law enforcement if they are asked, you are warned that your devices and it’s (sic) contents are subject to that policy. If you’re too dumb to get that part that’s on you. But you can’t later cry foul because you’re (sic) own appointee followed the rules.

Did you read Kory Langhofer's letter? I provided the link. He's not focusing on the executive privilege argument - in fact, he undercuts it by emphasizing all the reasons why the transition team is NOT part of the government and is instead set up as a private, non-profit 501(c)(4) organization! The privilege that he is more concerned about is the attorney-client privilege. It has been violated by Mueller's team. The emails they surreptitiously stole from the GSA are full of discussions with attorneys. Every lawyer on the planet knows you have an obligation to inform the other side and return such material immediately upon receiving it. Mueller didn't do that and you can't defend him.
Yup!While we are talking about a "government" entity, rules of simple common sense apply. Privileged conversations are still privileged and as President elect, that bucket of privileged grows exponentially. Ya just can't be trotting out any all conversations between Heads of State.
“Office of the President-elect staff members will be required to individually sign and accept [government furnished] laptop and Smartphone while accepting IT Rules of Behavior to safeguard the assets and the integrity of the network infrastructure.”
Those rules of behavior include a privacy waiver, which notes that, “Users have no expectation of privacy on GSA IT resources since all activities are subject to monitoring.”
You can read the Memorandum of Understanding and the GSA’s Rules of Behavior that the Trumpsters signed below:

You're just assuming it means they don't have a strong case. However, they may decide the damage to their attorney-client privilege is already done, so what's the point of getting the emails back now? Or they may decide to wait and use the "fruit of the poisonous tree" argument to get everything thrown out later.
Do you think it's fair, legal, or constitutional for one side (in any litigation) to know everything the other side has been privately discussing with their attorneys? Originally Posted by lustylad
Boy I tell you people should maybe look at what they respond to you with. Talking about arguments they never made with you. Assuming that you look at their every word like they do with you. Not realizing that you aren't obsessed with them the way they are with you. It's sad and scary how obsessed some weird/lonely people can be with people they've never met. Those people have no one in their real lives and so they need the attention from someone who clearly doesn't care to communicate with them. Originally Posted by Austin DudeThanks, millsy!

Some people are so obsessed with this forum that, after being banned for outing a provider, they re-register on the same day under a new handle so they can keep posting!
But you're right, millsy... I'm obsessed too. I'm obsessed with correcting libtard bullshit. If you stop spewing it, I'll stop correcting it. And you can stop pretending to ignore me because you know your cheap talking points are no match for my superior arguments.
Thanks again... for showing everyone you don't know what you're talking about! Originally Posted by lustylad

You’ve managed to spread your brand of Pissburg poison all over our fair city.
Do you have a thing going on with the Ancient Ellen?
