Are intel officials trying to slow Trump order to declassify Russia probe documents?

U.S. intelligence officials, blindsided by President Donald Trump's order that they make public highly sensitive files in the Russia investigation, are hoping the White House will allow them to conduct a formal declassification review and damage assessment before they are forced to release the documents, current and former officials tell NBC News.

Senior executives at the FBI, Justice Department and Office of the Director of National intelligence were scrambling Tuesday to respond after being taken by surprise by a White House press release Monday directing them to release classified material they had previously determined should not be made public.

But officials remained hopeful Tuesday that the White House would allow the declassification review to go forward, even as they expressed private outrage that Trump and his allies in Congress were seeking to disclose secret information for what appeared to be purely political purposes.

Officials said it was unclear how long the review would take. One challenge is that Trump ordered the release of only those text messages related to the Russia investigation. That will require the FBI to sort through tens of thousands of messages to figure out which ones apply.

Meanwhile, Trump said on Twitter that the documents would show there was no basis for the surveillance of his campaign aide.

"Really bad things were happening, but they are now being exposed," Trump wrote. "Big stuff!"

In other words they need time to shred the documents that show the corruption of the Hussein regime.

If they refuse to cooperate, I guess Trump will simply replace Sessions with someone who isn't sitting on his thumbs. Congress has been asking the DOJ for documents for two years now, and they continue to drag their heels.

It's the government. Documents don't simply disappear, as there are copies of them on multiple servers. Even Hillary's emails are out there somewhere, just waiting to be found.
