Seems like what they are saying is that the normal declass process requires multiple agency sign offs for several reasons; the big one being protecting the sources and methods of the IC. Remember how Hillary’s server got some of our spooks clipped in Iran and China? They are arguing that they need to know so as to assess the impact to sources/methods and protect said sources/methods.
You could possibly read between the lines and claim they are looking out to protect their corruption ring. But I am not sure that this highlighted section was meant to do anything other than convince the judge that there was a logical and rational basis for them to demand/seize this info from Trump.
