Original Note:
By conflating “protocols” (procedures) with law, the tweet implies possible legal jeopardy for Trump. According to Politifact: “The president is not obliged to follow any procedures other than those that he himself has prescribed. And he can change those." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2017/may/16/james-risch/does-president-have-ability-declassify-anything-an/
