      What about the rest of the FISA that this order won’t release? I’m not a big fan of releasing FISA applications; there are lots of good natsec & privacy reasons not to. That said, it’s hard to find a principled basis for overruling FOIA redactions for some pages but not others.7/

      Declass should never be done to advance a particular political narrative: it undermines confidence in IC and future U.S. access to intel, and selective release of cherry-picked info doesn’t advance transparency, it just increases the risk of skewed interpretation of facts. 8/x

      Re the Ohr interviews: From press, we know these relate to his contacts with Steele. Releasing this info risks undermining an ongoing investigation, it's not necessary for oversight (Congress already has access), & releasing only a subset of info doesn’t serve transparency. 9/x

      Re texts: Many former natsec colleagues are focused on release of FISAs & intvws. I agree with those serious concerns. But IMO, the order releasing texts raises an even more corrosive risk of corrupting our institutions & allowing abuse of power directed against individuals. 10/x

      Here’s why: our nation needs dedicated civil servants at every level. They need to know they’ll be treated fairly under the Privacy Act and various admin procedures; we need to make sure they don’t suffer adverse consequences for improper reasons. 11/x

      One of the many discouraging things in the political narrative of this investigation are the savagely personal, ad hominem attacks on individuals who are career civil servants. Can their official actions be scrutinized? Absolutely. Plenty of proper channels exist for that. 12/x

      And yes, the level of heat & scrutiny can appropriately be different for political appointees, senior execs, & salaried personnel. But setting people up for reputational smears is no way to attract the most capable, dedicated people to serve their country by working in govt. 13/

      The unfortunate upshot of these decisions is that intel & LE sources will be less likely to cooperate; intel methods may be put at risk; individuals will be dissuaded from gov't service; the investigation may be undermined; & little meaningful transparency will be achieved. 14/x

      Lots of questions remain. No docs have been released yet, and it isn't clear if DoJ, ODNI, & FBI will treat this as a mandatory declassication order, or a directive to review these docs for potential further release consistent with FOIA (which would mean lots of redactions). 15/x

      And the DOJ statement from last night, which is contained in the story, both of which all but confirm it is not a declassification order and is not being treated as one.
