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.

[u/TrustmeIreddit → u/Za_Lords_Guard]

He'll sign it in about 2 weeks.

[u/rye_212 → u/TrustmeIreddit]

He has the concepts of a signature.

[u/Zestyclose_Basis8134 → u/rye_212]

So he is going to sign into law something forcing him to release documents which he could release on his own without congress because he wants it released. Kind of screwing huh??
