Hmm, yes, it was my understanding that “Executive Privilege” only protects certain of the President’s and Executive branch communications from the other 2 branches of the government, so, for example, Congress can’t subpoena them, and the courts can’t use them as evidence.
But the People are not a branch of the government. Executive Privilege should not keep those public records out of the reach of the public. You have to claim “national security” to do that.
Thx.
