From the Executive Order text: Upon receipt of a notice of intent to disclose Presidential records, the Attorney General (directly or through the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel) and the Counsel to the President shall review as they deem appropriate the records covered by the notice and consult with each other, the Archivist, and such other executive agencies as they deem appropriate concerning whether invocation of executive privilege is justified. (b) The Attorney General and the Counsel to the President, in the exercise of their discretion and after appropriate review and consultation under subsection (a) of this section, may jointly determine that invocation of executive privilege is not justified. The Archivist shall be notified promptly of any such determination. (And no, I didn’t switch the B and A around .. it was like that in the order - so much for attention to detail or were we a bit rushed to do this at the time?) What this says, is that only the Attorney General and Council to the President, are able to review records’ requests and determine if they can be made public or not (what they deem appropriate). Did you know Eric Holder is a personal close-friend of Obama’s? Eric Holder was even on his campaign when usurping for Presidency. Eric has stated himself that he shares Obama’s same views on the “World” and “Race”. In effect, what this order does is over-turn the previous executive order by Bush, that Presidential records can be made publicly availabe through the Freedom of Information Act.
