Given the information that the WH has leaked, would you like to be the lawyer that tries to prove that the info in the book is more or damaging? There will shortly be a movie out that was based on info supplied by the WH,DOD and CIA.

That's all irrelevant. Legally, the president has full classification and declassification authority; he can declassify whatever information he wishes to whenever he wishes to.

A Navy SEAL does not have declassification authority.

A President can simply say anything he wants publicly about US covert operations (operations that could and probably have put American operatives’ lives in jeopardy) and NOTHING can be done? His oath when he took office to protect and defend the United States of America has no real binding authority? The president can MURDER at will when it comes to our military? Is this true?
