1. I've looked a the regulations cited to see what the Trump EO means regarding declassification. townhall.com/tipsheet/katie…
2. The Trump EO addresses the implementation of Obama's 2009 Intelligence classification EO 13526. It allows Barr to declassify under 3.1 (a) something that no longer fits the criteria for classification or; under 3.1(d), declassification as follows:
3. "It is presumed that information that continues to meet the classification requirements under this order requires continued protection. In some exceptional cases, however, the need to protect such information may be outweighed by the public interest in disclosure
4. of the information, and in these cases the information should be declassified. When such questions arise, they shall be referred to the agency head or the senior agency official. That official will determine, as an exercise of discretion, whether the public interest in
5. disclosure outweighs the damage to the national security that might reasonably be expected from disclosure."

So Jeremy Dash is likely right that Barr could cherry pick information and release it publicly in what I would term a propaganda attack. But the agencies will know.
6. Trump shutting Congress off from being able to call DOD @NSAGov to get the truth now makes perfect sense. Everyone needs to tee up whistle blower cases. Flood the zone. @RepAdamSchiff @MarkWarner @FBIWFO
7. I think there is still enough power in the IC agencies to jam this up until we get Barr impeached for treason. @SpeakerPelosi Barr's case can't wait. You need to send the message to IC we know who Barr is and call NSA to disclose the catalog of all unmasked Trump intercepts.
