Trumps people weren't granted a stay for appeal. Why, as the Committee, simply hand them basically a stay ... of their own accord?

Get those damn docs as quick as you can AFAIC. If you have to return them later due to a successful appeal, so be it. Once you have them you basically have WAY more power than if you don't.

So ... what did Democrats gain by just handing this to Trump? Just getting to look like cool guys, the one's being nice, or?
