The running threads seem to converge that it’s another hole the Dems are hoping our president will fall into. If he declassifies it, they announce “obstruction” and use that as the official excuse of the day for starting impeachment. Not worth the danger when the committee is willing to do it. If it’s true that they are.

How can RELEASING information be considered obstruction? You’ve been drinking?

The Committee cannot release it on their own. If the Committee votes to release, then the Executive branch (i.e. Trump) has 5 days to okay (or not) the release. If the answer is ‘no’, then it goes to the full House to override (or not) an Executive branch ‘no’.

Jay Sekulow (Trump atty) has said he thought it could be released, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if the strategy ends up being to let it go to the full House vote and then there is no way to put Trump’s fingerprints on the release, thus no chance at all of an ‘obstruction’ pitfall.
