Oh, btw, Trump is claiming executive privilege on the already-released Mueller report, per my WaPo email alert.

This is gonna get laughed out of most courts, though it might carry weight with the 5 seat wingnut majority on the SCOTUS bench. Barr made a big deal about how the WH could have exercised executive privilege but hadn’t, that it had made documents and witnesses available to Mueller when it could have refused on EP grounds. The time to claim EP came and went, you can’t go back and say “Well, we choose to withhold this information now because we don’t like Congress.”
