True. Although in this case, the DOJ was asked for documents, not the White House like in those other cases. Executive Privilege is used to protect the White House, not the DOJ. So by them using this privilege it answers the question "was the White House involved?" Yup.

But of course we all knew that already.

PS - this DOJ site is a FAIL.
