9. That may be but it will not put a noose around their collective necks.
By putting the cover of executive privilege over the entire DoD they are doing an end run around any possible effort by this congress to look into that long list of questionable events, many of them quite possibly treasonous, that have happened since some large buildings fell down.

I'm not minimizing the hideous botched Tillman incident, it indeed is a scandal, but there is more going on here. The cabal is not just claiming EP over the Tillman case, it has claimed this over each and every attempt by congress to gain access to any and all executive records and personnel. As I said, what is stunning here is how broad and far they appear to be trying to extend this.

If in fact they are able to sustain this effort for the Tillman case then they will have abolished any ability of Congress to investigate executive branch operations.
