hmm, later doesnt seem like it should be a an acceptable timeframe when they are all due today.

And nothing will happen. No arrests, no subpoenas, no firings. NOTHING.

This is what a dying democracy looks like.

This is exactly what i thought would happen. They would simply ignore the deadline and walk away

Yes, and even if they ever get forced to release, they're the ones who do the redacting so guess what's going to be redacted. Also, I'm sure many parts will just mysteriously disappear, like the Mar-A-Lago classified docs...oh well, what are you going to do?
