Lookee here! Stephen Miller helped Trump draft a letter Don McGahn found too damning to send. It'd be a PITY if he got swept up in this!pic.twitter.com/DTCI7afhNY

What's interesting is DOJ--not WH--turned letter over. Why did it take 3 months? Privilege review?pic.twitter.com/BdRym0xFhf

Questions not asked (or answered): Why did the DOJ even have a copy of this draft WH letter? Who at the DOJ had a copy of this draft WH ltr?

Right: one of the reasons I noted that. One possibility is Rosenstein got a copy, and the delay has been reviewing it for privilege.

Interesting. Everything involving the WH counsel gets reviewed/withheld/delayed for privilege?

So you're referring to executive privilege? Not attorney client privilege? Not White House counsel privilege (whatever that is)?

Just speculating but Exec is most likely one to hold up production to Mueller for 3 months.
