I think you are referring to CUI documents which has a procedure to follow.

Presidential Memorandum-Classified Information and Controlled Unclassified Information | The White House

that led to :

Executive Order 13556

and the question is still evolving. But Holder is simply following the Law and insisting that the cauldron stirring Witch Hunters do the same.

try using a valid comparison

Executive Privilege is a personal privilege of the President and the Whitehouse. bush used it based on questions of actions of the whitehouse

It does not apply to those around him, which, having been invoked, places Obama square in the middle of this.

so are YOU saying that Obama is squarely involved in the middle of this, and directed holder to lie in front of congress???

It's about Obama's comment on the use of it..not "well Bush did it".

I tend to think Obama is in the wrong here...but still, this is the first time in 3 1/2 years he's invoked executive privilege. Which I think should perhaps not exist at all.

So the great constitutional attorney doesn't know the meaning of 'executive privilege'?

Why does that not surprise me?

What a buffoon.

Knowing this Congress and their past, I highly doubt they will move forward.

And I think Obama/Holder are banking on it.
Actually the department responsible for bringing this forward and challenging it is..

Eric Holders office..

It'll go no where legally.
