of why they can't respond and fortunately, both Congress members and the media are pointing it out. This thing about "not responding in case the President wants to invoke Executive Privilege" is just bullshit.
As Heinrich pointed out - you have the "I'll answer the question" bucket, the "It's Classified, but I'll answer in closed session" bucket, and the "President has invoked Executive Privilege" bucket.... But they can't just make up some other bucket.
And technically, I might add one other option and that's the "I take the 5th" bucket, that any of them could have done. 
And IIRC regarding that thing about "DOJ Policy", I think one of his answers attempted to suggest that the policy came from Eric Holder (and Cotton was also using that excuse) - without also indicating that Obama had invoked Executive Privilege (which eventually went to court and the remaining docs being demanded were subsequently submitted), so not a valid claim.
And we'll see if they turn over the policy docs per Sen. Kamala Harris' demand.
