In this case I think Trump will ignore a court order and order the documents declassified. The committee would back him up immediately and Trump would proceed to fire anyone who resisted. I think we have come that far.

first goal will be to look at those black sheets that were so heavily redacted and see just how hush hush it all was.

It will get interesting if Rosenstien, or other Deep State creatures ignore the president and Trump fires them especially Rosenstien. The RATS and media will go insane with the Saturday Night Massacre theme.

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript#toc-article-ii-

Article. II. Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.


President of the United States Donald Trump wins. The minority leaders of Congress lose. President Trump should tweet out the now declassified documents.

Too bad chucky, not your lucky day.

Actually, it never was...

” It appears to be true that the President has the legal authority to declassify classified materials however he chooses. This conclusion is supported by dicta in Department of Navy v. Egan, 484 US 518 (1988), and it is consistent with the historical fact that classification and declassification decisions have been made by the President. (On the relevance of historical facts, see Justice Frankfurter’s separate opinion in The Steel Seizure Case.) To be sure, Congress might have the power to limit the President’s power to classify and declassify (though the President is likely to resist any such limitation on constitutional grounds) — but no such limitation appears to be in place.”

Since Watergate, when did the Democrats ever resist releasing government documents? Pentagon papers, Edward Snowden, and Bradley "Trans" Manning leaks for instance.

Here is a list from Wikipedia. How many of these did the Democrats grouse about, even when it jeopordized national security?

Exactly, how arrogant of them (but what’s new?)

The American People order that Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner/Feinstein resign from Congress.

It is pretty glaring that there are no republican signatories on this document. I do think that voids it.

Order?

They're assuming the role of the Executive branch. They have no authority over whether or not the President declassifies anything. Funny how they shrug off Congress ordering the same agencies ignore an order from the Senate to produce documents the Senate wants to see but now expect obedience.

Scum bucket Schumer told Trump the Intelligence agencies had six ways from Sunday to screw him. It looks like he knew because he was in on their activities which is exactly why he doesn't want things declassified. Full declassification will show that some people in Congress were kept informed of how the coup plotting was coming along. Schumer probably among them.

In letter, Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff/Warner order intel agencies to ignore presidential order

Exactly what authority do they have to do such a thing?
