Executive Privilege: Taylor-made.

From TPMmuckraker:

You can see Taylor's opening statement here. In it, she says that she intends "to follow the President's instruction" and not testify about conversations she had at the White House about the U.S. attorney firings. However, there may still be certain questions she can answer:

"While I may be unable to answer certain questions today, I will answer those questions if the courts rule that this committee's need for the information outweighs the president's assertion of executive privilege...

I look forward to answering those questions not covered by the President's assertion of executive privilege."

The janitor has executive privilege if he knows about the crimes in the White House. This is a Nixon dream. If he could get away with what's going on now Nixon would have never been impeached. Well at lease we know the mole Fred Thompson didn't do a good job at helping Nixon get away with his crimes.
