This is obviously unacceptable. Rather than merely threatening to declassify documents, Trump should go ahead and do it, regardless. What he's doing, now, is suggesting that he and others (Democrats; liberals; etc) are in a semi-hidden 'Mexican standoff', where those sides are each not revealing something embarrassing about the other side. I'd say it's in the public interest that each of these 'sides' reveal what they know. Let the chips fall where they may.
Could this explain why Jeff Sessions hasn't prosecuted Hillary Clinton and her cronies, and Obama and has cronies?
Sure, the glue that holds the top elite together is blackmail. To join the elite, you have to give insiders blackmail material. And not just legalistic technicalities, which is what they have been nailing people associated with Trump for - for example the man who failed to reveal on his loan application that the rental was not arms length. Rather, hideous and disgusting stuff, and "lying to the FBI", which always means merely that the FBI asked you the same question in a dozen different ways, and once you gave a different sounding question a different sounding answer. What Trump needs to go is get his people in the FBI, and turn a mid level insider, who will rat out the top level insiders with stuff that really stinks.
