President Trump has ordered that numerous documents involving the Russia investigation be declassified. The records have long been sought by Congress under lawful subpoenas. Yet, the FBI and Department of Justice have consistently obstructed the release of these materials under the guise of “classified” secrets. This is a convenient alibi all too frequently employed to cover-up wrongdoing and abuse of authority by those we entrust to uphold the law.
These days, overzealous government officials automatically designate nearly all matters as national security risks, regardless of whether they truly are.
Whenever the FBI orders Chinese take-out, it is labeled “top secret” because… you know… it involves the Chinese. False classification has reached absurd proportions.
How do we know? Every time information is declassified we learn that the material should never have been classified to begin with. It was nothing more than a subterfuge. Here are two recent examples:
In July, a substantial portion of the wiretap warrant applications presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was declassified. It turns out that no vital sources or methods were revealed in a way that jeopardized either national security or the FBI’s secret investigative techniques.

No, if Rosenstein defies Trump’s order to declassify the documents he should be arrested.
Why would a military court have any jurisdiction?
Treason is a military crime, subject to tribunal. It’s an act of war.
Very desperate. VERY:

Fire and question and blitz him with a massive investigation. Then consider actual arrest. And then fire whoever is next in line if you don’t trust him either until you have a good replacement for Sessions.
You need the right replacement for Sessions to step in and take charge without giving any of those goons a minute to datamine as boss. Maybe a recess appointment?
As long as he has access to both sets of FBI records he may cooperate. Beyond that, classification issues will be raised forever.

should have been fired last year. Won’t get fired now.
Don’t fire him. Reassign him . . . to the FBI field office in Nome, Alaska.
