I agree with your take on this....not that sanity will prevail in the swamp of DC.

As to the executive privilege assertion, according to a former federal prosecutor that I heard discussing this issue, the conversations between the President and administration personnel are by definition covered under privilege.  Seems consistent with all the refused answers in the recent testimony.  Only POTUS can declassify his official conversations.  Again, I am under no illusion that Comey is in real legal jeopardy given the politics and as pointed out above, his personal relationship with Mueller.  But it appears he should be lawyering up.  Either way, at least he did not obviously perjure himself by now suddenly claiming Trump pressured him contrary to his earlier sworn testimony.  He may be a feckless, limp wristed pajama boy but he isn't that stupid.
