16. I don't know how the 'official' process works for the president to declassify information. I do know

that simply saying something that is classified, "as in the case of the Dotard spilling the Israeli's info" doesn't automatically declassify the information. People who work with classified info are taught how to act in the case of an inadvertent disclosure, and to report it to the appropriate authorities as soon as possible. What the Dotard did was pure and simple braggadocio on the Dotard's part, because he has the self control of a 3 year old. He was trying to impress his Russian comrades and proved why he can't be trusted with anything you don't want the entire world to know. I hold out hope, that the Intel Community has two sets of classified information; one for the Mickey Mouse brigade to include the Dotard's relatives and clueless political appointees who can't seem to get cleared, and one for the responsible grownups who take these matters seriously, as if our survival as a nation depends of it.
