Executive privilege is necessary, but should not be abused. There are instances where information discussed in the executive branch needs to be protected for the sake of preserving internal decision-making processes. It has to be in place to protect the fundamental interest of the presidency, but if the information could be used to help the country for the greater good, then it should be released regardless of executive privilege. An example of this is definitely the Nixon case. The information had to be released about the Watergate scandal just so everyone could feel safe about the country’s main headquarters. There has to be exceptions to the privilege to keep it in check and to make sure the executive branch does not receive too much immunity
