They all claim executive privilege. It took 3 weeks to indict Steve Bannon because DOJ took the pains to show where Bannon didn't work in the Trump administration.

DOJ is trying to prove no privilege because precedence doesn't apply, instead, DOJ could just prove that executive privilege does not apply to cover up crimes.

This is what is happening with mark meadows right now.

All of the traitors will claim executive privilege, no need to cooperate.

This could all be tied together by a special grand jury.
