Possibly then just the announcement of him leaving is sufficient to start declass.
I have read that Coats was refusing to cooperate with the sharing info between departments. One of the reasons for the Trump memo.
So, if he is still in a position of authority until the 15th, then I highly doubt he will have a change of heart during his last two weeks as director. Prolly just the opposite, obstruction and destruction may be on his agenda.
Maybe, but sometimes when you are standing in the gap blocking the way you are taken out or a detour is routed around you. Makes no difference if you have a change of heart or not. Divine intervention can happen in multiple ways. It's better to step aside.
