Exactly where in the U.S. Constitution is "executive privilege" mentioned? OMG! It's NOT? Oh, perhaps it was hiding under an "emanation" or a "penumbra" of something else. Of course, any such critter is clearly a creation of radical activist judges, and should be immediately overturned. It's spelled "Republican". It's pronounced "Hypocrite".

A PERSON WHO IS NOT PRIVY TO THE CONVERSATION OR COMMUNICATION CANNOT CLAIM A PRIVILEDGE!!!! I can't claim spousal priviledge about a conversation my husband had with someone else, even if its about me! That's not how priviledge works! Why doesn't somwonw in the press talk to theri employer's attorney about his and then ask Dana to learn about the nature of priviledge and come back next time ready to answer some questions?
