Hey TC...thanks for your observation. Noted I wasn't the least bit scholarly, but do recall - now that you mention it - reading somewhere about the Washington thing and its relationship to what we've come to call executive privilege.

I could be wrong, and please don't ask me to recall where I read about that premise. I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning besides coffee. (My memory can sometimes be a bit light weight these days as well.)
