Has anyone asked or Chuck Grassley why they uploaded 44,000

pages last night instead of weeks ago? I mean, I think I KNOW why but has he given a coherent reason why?

Sorry, there's no way anyone reviewed and digested 44,000 pages of information in fewer than 24 hours.

Grassley and the entire GOP are bought and paid for. They are being blackmailed, or paid, or both. Amyishere Sep 2018 #2

so he'll just make shit up like he always does. His relationship with the truth is non-existent.

He doesn't ever address the dump last night and this morning. He just says that "more documents have been released on him than any other nominee". He doesn't say that it was an avalanche of data, and that the most important stuff hasn't even been allowed to be seen at all..by orders of someone named Bill Burke..who the hell is Bill Burke and by whose authority is he denying legislators access to documents?

Grassley doesn't address all of this, and doesn't allow any point or order or any procudures by claiming it is not an "executive session". America is becoming a banana republic right before my eyes on live tv. The statements by the dems are meaningless, nothing matters, the conclusion is forgone.

I am beyond disgusted. Strongly worded tweets and voting no are not enough. More needs to be done.
