Mr. MacDougald. Same objection.

Mr. MacDougald. Correct. And the other privileges identified in the letter. There are other privileges identified in the letter, but the executive privilege is the front and center.

  Okay. What are they? I'm sorry. Again—

Mr. MacDougald. Well, there is a—we enumerate, and I believe these are all subsidiary to the executive—

  That's my question. Are they all within the executive—

The Witness. No.

Mr. MacDougald. Well, no. That's a subtle legal point.

The Witness. Yeah. I would say no. I think that you should look at the enumeration, and we stand on that.

Mr. MacDougald. And then we reserve any other objections or rights that he may have under the Constitution or otherwise.

  All right. So—

Mr. Schiff. If I could just—

  Yes.

Mr. Schiff. —follow up on that question.

What privilege are you asserting would apply to enable you to refuse to answer a question about whether you used personal electronic devices in the course of your government business?

Mr. MacDougald. We're asserting privileges set forth in the letter, Congressman.
