    He talked about wanting to do this in his first term, so it’s not new since the two assassination attempts.

    So we’ll know more about these assassinations of old, than the person who attempted to assassinate Trump himself..

    So, these agencies conspired to do all these nefarious things, collected the evidence to out themselves, then diligently preserved it for decades so that a single signature during a quasi-reality show intro could blow it all up.

    That is some high-end conspiring!

    I thought he has been asked why he did not de-classify more of this during his first term and thought he explained, for example, that some witnesses are still alive and shouldn't be outed. Presumably that concern and other concerns would still largely apply now?

    There's something called redaction, which is used the hide the names of people in documents who shouldn't be "outed." Of course I wouldn't be surprised if Trump had never heard of it.

    True. I tried to account for that by qualifying it with the word "largely." Will be interesting to see how much the scope of production and redactions change.
