Contained in the index details are evidence that Obama asserted executive privilege for Attorney General Eric Holder's wife Sharon Malone—and his mother.

According to Judicial Watch, emails between Holder and his wife and Holder and his mother are the materials withheld via executive privilege and "the dubious claim of deliberative process privilege."

Yet the release of the Vaughn index is a good thing, and it comes after Judge John D. Bates ordered the index in response to Judicial Watch's September 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.

Breitbart News previously reported that Bates issued his ruling on July 31....

What comes to mind after reading the article, is that there must have been private communications on the Dept. of Justice computer system between Holder, his wife and mother. Is not using a government computer for personal use a questionable or prohibited act ? If communications were conducted on a personal computer how can the “Executive Privilege apply? After all, any of our personal communication is fair game and legal for perusal by the government. Obama, in his application of “Executive Privilege”, is not only condoning illegal activity but is an active participant. To a reasonable thinking person, such activity can be viewed as a criminal conspiracy.
