the context here is that in August of that year, Bush asserted Exective Privilege in order to reject a subpoena that would requote Karl Rove testify before the Senate about the firing of of some fedeal prosecutors.
This was a nothing scandal, a media/Democrat created firestorm that never went anywhere.
Like Watergate, iran-Contra,m, and the valerie Plame nothingburger — all scandals the media could never amplify nd push enough — no one died.
Fast and Furious, however, has resulted in the death of U.S. law enforcement personnel and who knows how many innocent Mexican citizens.

Obama In 2007: Attacks Bush For ‘Hiding Behind Executive Privilege’
so much for Sex, lies, and video tape. What a piece of trash..Impeachment time has come and passed. His impeachment will be the loss of the election in Nov. Biden is just a piece of dead fish that has sat in the hot summer sun to long….. felons, all of them. oh the slut clinton is a murderer.
The ultra-right gets all upset for a Border Patrolman killed in the line of duty (whose death isn’t provably attributable to Fast and Furious, and innocent Mexican civilians), but where’s the outrage on the right when the US kills, injures, and displaces millions of Iraqis in a war pursuing oil in the Middle-east; and similar atrocities in Afghanistan to gain real estate for the Trans-Aghan pipeline. The Right can act all moral when it serves their political purposes.
