No. Read the Treaty. I did. The “Requesting Authority” is the Attorney General of the United States who must make the formal written request to her Russian counterpart. She is the only person with that authority, and since that’s Loretta Lynch, it’s not gonna happen. Even if she did, or Trump’s AG did, the treaty has a clause excusing a signatory from complying if compliance would compromise their national security interests. Since the manner and means of obtaining classified informaton is the essence of national security, the Russians can and no doubt will decline the request on that basis without being in violation of the treaty. Of course, declining on that basis could be construed as an admission that they have the emails.

Let’s get real, folks. The Russians are not giving us their copies and we can’t make them.
