Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      it remains a huge governance issue, regardless of if POTUS didn't want it classified anymore. not certain it makes Glomar "less difficult"

      no stronger argument that exec branch has no interest in keeping program classified anymore than when the chief executive acks it.

      Under @aclu precedents in Awlaki suit Hagel's formal testimony likely to have greater bearing than a tweet (tho new precedents under Trump)

      That said not at all interested in pretending that program secret OR still unacknowledged just for gotcha v Trump. That's counterproductive

      Read the Awlaki FOIA filings. Pretty analogus case and in a circuit where actual underlying Finding was deemed classified.

      i've read them (been a while tho). my interest here is in the potus as oca / declassification via tweet question.

      Likely will depend on suing in venue with prior Court ruling in his tweets. But cia will fight for edva.
