There is no doubt, of course, that the president has a right to keep certain discussions within the White House confidential. Nixon shows in high relief the weaknesses of the Obama White House’s efforts to protect its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac schemes.

If the Obama administration were to prevail, then presumably every time the most minor employee of the White House became involved in an email communication – presto! executive privilege would apply.
