Fortunately, there is one card left to play. It is Trump’s ace in the hole, and now is the time to put it on the table.

As I and others have noted, a president has almost unlimited powers to declassify any document within the executive branch. It is a mystery why Trump has hesitated to use that power, especially because he rails so frequently about the unfairness of both probes.

He could, in an instant, strike a blow for accountability and transparency by ordering the Justice Department to give Congress everything it wants, subject to very limited restrictions.

Embarrassment does not qualify as a reason for withholding information.

Almost certainly, the bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton would be glaring if the document troves were exposed to the disinfectant of sunshine. That would make the move a political bonus for Trump.

Even more important, it would set a dramatic precedent for a more open government, something Trump promised to deliver. Secrecy is an important part of the deep state’s permanent power and, when invoked to extremes by law enforcement, veers toward a police state. Trump should make sure he is its last victim.

Throw open the doors, Mr. President, and turn history’s page toward openness. Today would be a great day to start.

Sure play the ace in the hole. Why should a president respect the integrity of an ongoing investigation anyways? I'm sure that using executive privilege in order to taint an investigation some more wouldn't matter.

Libs hate law and order. The ongoing investigation was largely based off information purchased by the DNC and Clinton. Steele and members of the Intelligence community started the campaign/program in June of 2016. The Intelligence community had already written the brief clearing Clinton of her deeds. She was going to be the new boss. Or so she and they believed.

Guliani is delaying having trump testify so he and trump can say Mueller is going on too long with his investigation.

These two idiots are a perfect match for each other.

I'm sure it's a rebuttal to something, just not to what I said. Fact, the investigation is ongoing. Fact, not giving information on an ongoing information has been a long standing policy of the DOJ. Fact, a president compelling the DOJ to do so is unheard of and can easily be construed as obstruction of justice. Especially considering he has a vested interest in this investigation. Fact using the name of Hillary Clinton as a way to excuse that behavior is simply a dishonest argument.

By giving information on the avenues the prosecution is pursuing those people who are the target of the investigation can take steps to make evidence disappear or they can coordinate their explanation for that evidence or can construe an alibi. That's 3 ways. A fourth is that potential jurors can be influenced by the undoubtedly political way the available information would be leaked.
