So I can find in the NYT archives their condemnation of Slick’s claim of executive privelige? On what day? Does the weather section call for snow in Hades?
The issue of executive privilege took front stage when President William Jefferson Clinton was sued for actions alleged to have occurred before he was president. Paula Jones filed a civil suit in 1994, alleging that President Clinton propositioned her in a Little Rock hotel room three years earlier, when he was governor of Arkansas and she was a low-level state employee. She sought damages for “willful, outrageous, and malicious conduct” arising from the allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Bernard Nussbaum invoked executive privilege when, as White House counsel, he denied Justice Department investigators access to some of Vincent Foster’s papers after Mr. Foster committed suicide.
