I see a problem if you claim executive privilege. That's reserved for the executive branch, not for individual citizens outside the government. At least according to the constitution anyway.

Not for you if you have executive privilege - it can even excuse treason, like exposing a CIA operative if you don't like what their husband is saying about a war that never should have been started in the first place. Of course, that would never really happen, right?

Run for president, then you too can enjoy such power....though it doesn't work the way you imply
