I don't think the Dems want to go down this road.

If they did, they’d have to acknowledge the privilege existed and blow their whole case

Neither is Hillary but she might try it and then watch the Dems argue she can do so.

Past Presidents retain executive privilege powers. I’ve only recently learned this as well.

Interesting question.

If Biden werent running for Pres, I could see it, but it would be detrimental to his campaign if he was hiding behind exec privilege after insisting there was nothing untoward about it.

Oh, trust me. That anti-American
race-baiting bastard will be privileged until the day he dies. And even afterwards.

That would have to mean Obama was aware and is invoking privilege of the presidency. He won't due to that reason alone.

The irony is delicious.

Pick your poison, Dems.
