The judge can't bar what may have already happened. What if Trump declassified documents and gave them to someone like Seymour Hersh months ago, and then Seymour decides to write an interesting article in July?
“President Trump announced on Twitter Sunday that he will nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) to replace Dan Coats as director of national intelligence, confirming Axios' earlier reporting that Ratcliffe was favored for the job. Coats will leave office on August 15.”
Dan Coats but I thought he was a small player - maybe he's at Corney level.involvement and we are about to find out with this declas (missing a final 's' in the qdrop)

What could 'coats' before declass possibly mean?
Q’s post in OP is dated August 1, 2019.
This happened a few days before:
“President Trump announced on Twitter Sunday that he will nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) to replace Dan Coats as director of national intelligence, confirming Axios' earlier reporting that Ratcliffe was favored for the job. Coats will leave office on August 15.”
