    Oh, they’ll “release” it all right. But they’ll narrow down the scope as much as possible to some combination of “things that have already been released”, “things that can’t be released” (ie, the grand jury records, which are pretty much never released and which require judicial approval), , and “new things the public hasn’t seen yet but which are redacted to near total blackness”.

    And then he’ll veto it and they’ll be back in “let’s move past this” mode with a side helping of plausible deniability.
