Cool quote.
So why, if the president demanded the release of the classified material, was it not done?
Why, if it has been withheld against his wishes, has he not protested?
Wait, I know. 3D chess. Right?
Trump authorized declassification. That kicks it back to the AG to execute the order at his discretion.
That's different than Trump issuing a direct order to immediately declass.
Maybe instead of calling for "declass", it would be more correct for people instead to demand that Barr "execute"... is that the right word?
Sure they were (wink): thehill.com...
The office of the Director of National Intelligence said it “is working expeditiously with our interagency partners to conduct a declassification review of the documents.”
On Thursday evening, Trump signaled that he might be shifting from the declassification demand when he told Fox News' Sean Hannity he had received phone calls from two unnamed "very good allies" who raised objections to releasing the documents publicly.
It’s not known if the sealed charges are also about the 2010 Manning leaks, but it’s likely. Prosecutors sometimes file criminal complaints, rather than indictments, as a placeholder to keep an investigation running beyond the statute of limitations for the underlying crimext.

I wonder why the president didn't pursue the matter.

Maybe there's something that maybe the president might not want to be made public?

Still, the president could at any time say "Release it!"
Nunes and Jr. are full of crap.

I agree.
Except that assumes that Jr. has a brain.
