A judge has asked the WH to clarify whether a POTUS tweet actually counts as an order to declassify.

I would hope it wouldn't, as a twitter account could always been hacked.

President Trump’s Twitter accessed by security expert who guessed password ‘maga2020!’

His next password is probably "ivanka2024!"

If you get in with that and rig the market, send me a check - okay?

*or she* but I'm going to be really disappointed if Anonymous is Kellyanne.

That wouldn't shock me in the least.

At this point, even if she comes out with video evidence of Trump eating babies, I don't think it would move the needle much.

I give him a lot of credit for coming out earlier this year. I don't give him any (possibly negative credit) for the anonymous crap. I also assume that revealing that now is mostly out of self-interest (better that he reveal it now than people figure it out later).

Plus considering how many state AGs are gunning for him now, Pence's pardon would be moot in a practical sense.

A fairly comprehensive list - most of it does revolve around finances and fraud, under federal statutes.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Small Business Administration to release details on coronavirus pandemic-related loans that would disclose information on businesses that benefited from $717 billion in federally backed borrowings.

The judge ordered the agency to disclose all the names, addresses and precise loan amounts issued through the Paycheck Protection Program and Emergency Injury Disaster Loan program. The decision comes after a lawsuit was filed by a dozen news organizations, charging that the agency was not fulfilling its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act.

The SBA had previously released only summarized and anonymized data for PPP loans under $150,000 — which account for about 4.5 million of the 5.2 million in total loans made — claiming they would violate borrowers’ privacy by revealing the size of their payroll.
