"You obviously have no idea what executive privilege is." That is counter-factual. "The constitution does not name it but it is the powers of the executive branch in Article II" No it isn't. Most of his powers, save that of CiC are with the advice and consent of the Senate. And, if you read "The Federalist Papers", his powers as CiC were seen to be fairly limited. "Rove's subpoena would have had to state that he was to be questioned on one of those powers for him to legally not show up." Precisely. He wasn't subpoenaed on even the more expanded list you presented. He was subpoenaed over politicizing the DOJ. If that is covered by executive privilege, then so was Clinton.
