@mfpseth I didn't write the headline. But it IS incontrovertible that Obama can release it if he wants. @JameelJaffer
@mfpseth Are you familiar w/how many times Obama's DOJ has argued he has absolute authority over classification?

@emptywheel No and IDGAF. There is no systemic INCENTIVE for the DOJ to release this. Institutions protect their own (esp. in wrongdoing) -
@mfpseth So you're equating one thing--institutional self-defense--w/POTUS' (claimed) absolute power to classify and declassify. -
@emptywheel You're conflating the two. I'm making an argument about the Presidents' claimed powers and how you're not really fighting them. -
@mfpseth ANyway, maybe you should read Obama's claims abt Navy v. Egan and then we'll talk, okay? -
@emptywheel If I read those claims, will you stop pretending Obama is the entire security state? -
@mfpseth I'm not claiming that, which you seem to misunderstand. What OBAMA claims is that he has ABSOLUTE authority over classification.
