        I’m thinking going forward he could say “I wish I could hold confirmation of the NSA Director again until they declassify XYZ“

        I’m thinking he absolutely can’t do that because

        he’s privy to classified information he can’t disclose.

        Oftentimes you can’t even reveal what classified stuff you may have access to, as that info by itself could be classified. Giving little hints and letting people “read between the lines” would almost certainly count as mishandling classified information, especially if you’re a high-profile politician doing that in public statements.
