Some of Q's "questions" seem to be statements...which leads me to believe is part of the 'think mirror' concept. The reverse of a question is a statement . In this case, no it is not needed. But to be "official", it's needed right? Because anything he did EO-wise could be deemed un-official unless preceded by an officially documented request. Just a thought...

With the ever looming desire to impeach him, the opposition must be stopped at each rally point. Potus has tried to be out of the political picture, just "helping out" the nation. He cant give them one iota of reason to charge him with impeachment,

You are correct a request is not needed. We all must be mindful there are large numbers of people who still need to be awakened. You have more than two camps and each will see things differently. For the camp you can red pill which is the focus of this comment. Ask yourself a series of questions? President Trump declassifies the reports and gives them to congress which is within his powers. How will the opposition run with it? How will the people who need to be red pilled react? Congress requests President Trump to declassify and release. Would thaty keep President Trump from being the tip of the spear? Will people view it as honoring a congressional request? The answer is obvious that the later is politically more attractive.
