Great list of klintonian "privilege" claims. In each case, there is a whiff of felony clinging to each of the incidents. Something that is not yet alleged to Bush's possible claim of privilege.

"Executive privilege", like any other claim of privacy by anybody else, has merits. But klinton perverted that, just like everything else he touched.
