      Note: We still have heard no additional info from the White House or Justice Department as to what Trump's formal direction was, or when the material will be made public.

      Replying to @chrisgeidner

      What I'll be most interested to see is the language around the emails. If the actual order names particular emails that he is aware of, that's one thing, but if he says "all text messages relating to the Russia investigation," that's totally different. In that case...

      DOJ will have to either stick by its longstanding legal argument that everything relates to everything else (an argument it uses to reject FOIA requests for "all records relating to" something as overbroad), or it will have to interpret the order, which will undermine it the ...

      Replying to @NatlSecCnslrs @chrisgeidner

      next time it makes that argument in court. Plus, if it interprets the scope of his order narrowly, a FOIA requester seeking one of these text messages could reasonably ask a court to find that it did not follow Trump's order. Bottom line, I too can't wait to see the order ...

      (Shameless plug: For a discussion of why DOJ will most assuredly try to interpret this order as narrowly as possible, I wrote about it last week.)https://www.justsecurity.org/60684/trump-declassifying-page-ohr-records-broader-effects/ …

      It sure would be a shame if someone like @JasonLeopold were to get hold of the order & litigate a FOIA request using the exact language. Not a request "for records described in the order," but for "all text messages of these people relating to Russia" or whatever the order says.

      The text message part says “publicly release.”

      Yeah but in order to have standing you would have to file a FOIA request for I document even if they were required to publicly release it. It's an arcane procedural flaw in the current legal regime.

      OK, your “emails” language threw me off, but, now I get what you’re saying, and that all makes sense. We have asked the White House and DOJ for the actual order, but are yet to receive a copy.

          makes me wonder if there is even an order or if this was his way of forcing his lawyers hands to write one
