So here is my question: I recall it being said with respect to the info he handed to the Russian’s last year that the president can declassify anything he wants. Was that a true statement at the time or was that just made up nonsense to justify what he did? If that was true, how does it apply here?

The worst part of all of this is that even if Mueller nails Trump with collusion and he’s thrown in prison/executed/castrated/etc, we’re still stuck with President Pence, who would only be President due to the collusion in the first place. They should both be removed in that case, replaced by one of the Parkland survivor kids or maybe The Rock, not sure yet.
I don’t think any of those Parkland kids are 35 quite yet. ;-) But Dwayne Johnson would most definitely be an improvement.
Rod is out by Monday and Mueller fired by Tuesday.
Thanks NYT for ending Democracy.
Does seem likely leaked by the Trump admin.
NYT takes the bait every time.
