the President has (as his partisans assert) the nigh royal authority to declassify information on a whim, then isn't this a powerful disincentive for the intelligence community to bring politically sensitive info to his attention? Especially info that materially influences the President's own political fortunes?
Wouldn't this imperial perogative lead to even more lying, dissembling and evasion in the lower ranks?
I mean, thank about it.
Granted President's have leaked and leaked abundantly for years...now they have legal justification for it?
Yipes...
