Trump suggests he might “declassify everything”

I suppose the first question to ask is whether the President is talking about declassifying everything that s specific to Barr s investigation into Hunter Biden or, well& everything. We should probably assume he means the former. It s rather unimaginable that Donald Trump would simply wave his hand and declassify every bit of information in the possession of the federal government, including all of our nuclear weapons and other tactical capabilities, the identities of overseas information assets, and countless other items that are critical to national security.

Assuming we re only talking about the Hunter Biden material, some journalists would need to move quickly to file FOIA requests for all of the information. But even then, the clock would be ticking. Whoever receives the FOIA requests could slow walk them until January 26th, at which point Joe Biden could simply classify them again. Yes, the optics of that would be horrible for the nascent Biden administration, but if you think that wouldn t happen I would suggest you haven t been paying much attention to the swamp for the past couple of decades.
