    Been wondering all day: suppose there were texts at FBI that might explain the great scrutiny you were under after you went to the FBI about something ... if the President says declassify it all, does that give you any rights in court? Asking for a friend.

        As any lawyer worth the cost of the paper their law degree is printed on would say: it depends. Explain all the details, and why you perceive that action could harm you, to a lawyer in a confidential setting, and maybe you can get a preliminary injunction to prevent the release.

        Oh, I'm hoping for the reverse: for Trump to accidentally let me discover precisely what I want to know.

        Hmmm... in that case, I’d recommend you publicly complain the release will harm you in a way that fits into an exception to the various types of governmental immunity. That’s how you survive the fed’s Motion to Dismiss, and get to the discovery phase IMO.

        Are you thinking Release it all. means ALL files at the FBI? if so, It's only the files that relate to the Russian probe, that's all. Please wake up.

        The President is as incompetent as Devin Nunes. Even money he inadvertently releases damning evidence against his campaign.

        Of course it does. It gives you the right to get run over by the GOP spin machine.

        Dear Marcy, not really since the relevant precedent is Fitzgerald vs. Nixon, which granted the President absolute civil immunity for official acts he takes as President. It doesn't grant him any criminal immunity though, but I don't think you qualify under the IIPA (others might)
