    The shutdown ended, and then all of a sudden there was a vote to release the files. For a little bit I thought it’d be vetoed or pocket vetoed, but then all of a sudden the president signed off on it.

    Call me silly, but when the files didn’t come out the very next day, I was like “ok so this is where the shenanigans kick in”

      No shenanigans kicked in before the vote to release. Like a few days before Trump ordered, and Bondi complied opening investigations into Clinton, JP Morgan, and a few others. The bill says they can withhold anything involving on going investigations. Like they teed this up ahead of time to not release a thing but be able to say they voted to do so.
