Sec. 2. Declassification and Downgrading. With respect to any matter classified under Executive Order 13526 of December 29, 2009 (Classified National Security Information), the Attorney General may, by applying the standard set forth in either section 3.1(a) or section 3.1(d) of Executive Order 13526, declassify, downgrade, or direct the declassification or downgrading of information or intelligence that relates to the Attorney General’s review referred to in section 1 of this memorandum. Before exercising this authority, the Attorney General should, to the extent he deems it practicable, consult with the head of the originating intelligence community element or department. This authority is not delegable and applies notwithstanding any other authorization or limitation set forth in Executive Order 13526.
"Trump also ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr. The memo read: "The heads of elements of the intelligence community… and the heads of each department or agency that includes an element of the intelligence community shall promptly provide such assistance and information as the Attorney General may request in connection with that review."
The remedy here is a little more straightforward than refusing a subpoena. If you refuse an order, its insubordination and out the door.
It’s way past time to get this show on the road and uncover the real cover up. If what appears to be…is? This will be a bad time for the United States of America and it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you’re on. This will negatively affect all of us but it needs to be done, to hinder it ever happening again.
On another note, I can’t wait to hear Nancy stutter in denial.
Dont get your hopes up. Everything coming out of DC and the news seems like a teaser for a commercial break. Then nothing happens. I think this whole thing will end up like Hillary’s email. Those on the right, know what she did was wrong and that she should be jailed, but those on the left just dont care.
I fully agree…I suspect there was some type of deal put in place so that she would not be charged. Military members have been incarcerated for doing far less than her with classified information security. I dont care about intent. I care about what she did.
I tend to agree. The MSM will largely ignore or will minimize anything that does come out. House DEMs endless investigations and efforts to discredit Barr will drown out the releases.
But to be fair, DEMs don’t care because they will vote DEM regardless. That is exactly what I will do in 2020. No matter what happens I will vote Republican.
Trump will authorize blanket demands to declassify anything related to the origins of a investigation into HIM… but the FISA warrant specifically… hasn’t yet been declassified, like he stated he would do.
