Can somebody please explain something to me?

8. The Executive Branch can at any time assert 'executive privilege'

as a reason to withhold documents and testimony from the Legislative Branch.

Whether that assertion of executive privilege is legally justified is a whole other matter. And whether it is is politically advisable to assert the privilege is yet another separate, and perhaps even more important, question.

But I think almost all citizens would want to maintain some right of 'executive privilege' for our Executive Branch, in order to promote full and frank deliberations inside said branch.
