because Virginia Giuff6.1re logged a of mmunicatio5n0s on a privilege log in Resp Ltr at This does not get the Req6.5u.5ests over Nixon hurdl5.9es the Defendant is still attem7p.2ting to fish through BSF?s communicatio4.8n-.2s in the ho pes that som7ething 5.7relevant and 4.7admissib5.2l0e turns up without setting forth the relevance and adm6.8i-.2ssibility as to each docum7.3ent she eeks Further the privilege log does not as the Defendant in sin5.1u.1ates refere5.9nce communications between BSF and the U.S Attorney as defined in the Subpoena as the log references an unspecified law
