(2 of 2) As near as I can tell the only reason a president would declassify a document but tell absolutely no one that he’s done so is because he wants to *secretly* show that document to someone not otherwise entitled to see it and have an *excuse* ready if he’s caught doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

(1 of 2) A philosophical question, on the order of, “If a tree falls in a forest...”: If a president declassifies a document he is already entitled to see and *tells no one that he has done so*, in what sense is that document declassified? Nothing has changed about its handling. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS) When a document is declassified, it means that somewhere between a thousand and a billion times more people can now view it legally. But if the declassification is kept secret from *literally everyone* but *one man*, it just empowers him to *secretly choose* who can see it. — PolitiTweet.org
