3. It's a lot of work to comply with rules of procedure, federal law, and court orders.

Because some material that should have been redacted and victims' lawyers are on the case to protect their privacy. Even as many call for full release of all "unredacted" documents.

The vulnerable must be protected unless it suits some who have a 'right to know'. I guess. Please, thread that non-porous chunk of basalt.

Even then, as we've seen, they got it wrong and are violating court rules of procedure, federal law, and court orders to comply with federal law and public demands. One could suggest that vetting over a million pages of stuff might require some time, since "on going investigations" and making sure that information released doesn't allow for identification of those that are victims or not charged (and not sufficiently public--because we protect the 'innocent until proven guilty' ... unless we know their innocent and we have no need of proof ... I guess).

But neither Congress nor Trump bothered to actually worry about how things actually work when politics declare expediency is of the utmost importance. Please, let's have Congress make life easier and just declare pi = 3.00000... and g = 10.0000000... m/s^2. Trump would easily sign those bills and consider it "streamlining federal reality" or some such nonsense.
