EXECUTIVE ORDER 13292LOL, thanks for the laugh but offering up such uninformed assertions might make one suspicious that you don't understand the Constitutional Separation of Powers and/or the meaning of the word statute.you're wrong.No the President cannot, Presidential DE-classification authority does not extend to anything that is classified by statute (for example information relevant to determining the identities of foreign agents classified under the IIPA or nuclear secrets classified under the AEA).President can declassify anything he wants, dufus.Again just like the last time you have anonymous source and ambiguous so called disclosures! There is never a shred of proof brought forth other than rumors and conjecture.
Moron, Trump OPENLY ADMITTED that he shared the intelligence info.....
If you're going to actually "defend" the moron, at LEAST have your facts straight or go take a fucking nap.
