Trump is demonstrably quite capable of exerting executive privilege
Why TF did Maguire feel so responsible for finding out if EP was warranted? I understand his (weak) argument about the "urgent" thing, but wasn't it kind of his decision to bring up the EP angle (and thus, needed to extend the deadline from the 7 days)? As much as he claims to be on the WB side, that action flies in the face.
Also, EP can only be invoked by the Pres. Whether the other party (the WB) honors it is out of the Pres' control. It wasn't up to Maguire to decide, was it?
