Well there's a whole lotta other shit Trump can declassify that doesn't come under Durham's "purview".
He can still declassify anything he wants. Its up to the respective agency to release it, or be requested via FOIA (which can still be denied iirc).
The issue is that the appointment did not follow the rules (i.e. someone outside of gvt) so now it can be dismissed as "fake-news from not-legally appointed counsel."
The president has absolute power to declassify anything he wants. Not even the Supreme court can deny him that power.
