"...(to declassify information) pertaining to this investigation, in accordance with the long-established standards for handling classified information"

There's enough room in this statement to drive a truck through. We'll see how it goes, but to be skeptical is to be realistic.

You should read the EO's cited in the President's order to Barr.

I'm Oracling right now, or I'd track it down for you.

The Donald cited that for a reason. And wrote the EO for a reason too.

The Devil is in the details (fine print)

The letter is posted here on FR in several places. Good luck.

And that is as it should be.

Folks, when our beloved President says he'll declassify everything, he doesn't mean everything.

He has directed intel agencies to do in accordance with standards.....which means sources and methods will be redacted.

Just be careful with expectations.— EconChick/IntelChick (@MikayesFiona) May 24, 2019

We just have to be realistic not to be disappointed. Democrats and Never Trumpers like Romney types don’t care Obama spied on Trump. No Democrat is going to jail. The GOPe will never fight that battle.

This declassification is all about boosting Trump voter morale and GOTV for 2020. If it helps with that and gets POTUS reelected, great.
