For the first time we know the scope of documents the White House claims are covered by executive privilege. You know, correspondence between the President and his advisers necessarily not released to allow a President to get unfettered input and advice.
15,000 documents. The list of them alone is 1,300+ pages. It includes 20 emails between Holder and his wife.
Privilege is about communication with the President. They are claiming letters from congress, inter-agency communications, things that never got near the white House. It's absurd, insulting, beyond the pale.
Not surprising of course, but absurd and insulting. So much for "the most open Administration in history", here having the cajones to assert that nearly everything done by ATF in this matter must remain a secret from the People they serve.
