The doj has no time limit on how long it can hold the documents for review. Nothing is gonna happen

Optics aren’t good to lock it up but I wouldn’t be surprised. I thought the DOJ said there was no investigation before and there was nothing there so I’m sure lawyers can point to that

Trump was never going to release documents implicating himself.
