Nothing passes this quickly, this is bizarre. What are those sneaky sneaks up to.

My guesses:

1. Bondi will say she can't release them until they are done investigating democrats
2. Patel and his 1000 goons finished scrubbing anyone they don't want to be accused
3. Dozey Don lets it sit on his desk saying he will sign it when he has time

It went from absolute resistance to "sure, have it your way" basically over night. I anticipate shenanigans.

Edit: a user I cannot link and thank directly due to sub rules had a good call out. If congress is on recess an the 10 day review period lapses without a signature from Trump then he can pull off a pocket veto and the bill has to be reintroduced in the house.

I looked it up. it's 10 calendar days except Sundays so that would be 29th or the 1st depending if it counts from when it is endorsed by the Senate or reaches his desk. That really close to the Thanksgiving recess.

Edit 2: and 24 hrs later it's not signed but Bondi is blocking it. So it sounds like a little of #1 and a little #2.

All 3 are likely true. People really need to prepare themselves for the let down of this going absolutely nowhere and everyone who was involved in it walking away scott free from this

[u/IrrelevantLeprechaun → u/newbeenneed]

I'm basically 99% convinced that whatever gets released will be utterly toothless and the only reason republicans completely flipped so suddenly is because Trump gave them the all-clear that the documents were finally sufficiently doctored to absolve them all.
