This is how I read it. He is prohibited to do certain things. It would be nonsensical to read the order as prohibiting him from granting himself access.

The OGs of political blogging over at Power Line have invited me to contribute there with regard to my experiences in defending Jan6 cases over the past 42 months. For me, those guys are the "Gold Standard." I first started following "political blogging" in the early days involving Dan Rather's hoax about George Bush and the Texas ANG. @EdMorrissey had his Captain's Quarters blog, Patrick Frey had Pattericos Pontifications, and then there was the three lawyers in Minnesota who started Power Line -- Scott Johnson, John Hinderaker, and Paul Mirengoff. It was some of the earliest and best "blogging" that took political junkies like me beyond the WSJ, National Review, and the Weekly Standard back in the days before Twitter and Facebook.
