Fast & Furious: Executive Privilege? Or Not?

On the day after Obama's first exercise of executive privilege, the legal community is doing its best to advise the media on the meaning of the action.

Let's make this simple:  Most experts agree that privilege cannot apply in this case. 
See here:  Napolitano: President-obama-attorney-general-holder-and-executive-privilege

Here is an even simpler interpretation:  You can't invoke privilege on something that is illegal.  F&F used illegal methods and committed crimes (allowing gun walking that resulted in deaths) as its central theme.  So how can privilege protect against committed crimes?
