12. I am thinking it is because they are getting close to June 9th and public disclosure?

Why would that concern the DOJ?

Are they fearful that the Committee will expose information that they will need in their investigation?

Or are they afraid the Committee will expose information that will make it impossible not to investigate further?

The Committee has done a lot of work and they want the people to know what happened.

Perhaps they are concerned that if the DOJ gets control of the documents, they will not make it public?

Who knows? It is a puzzle to me.

We will likely know more in the next few days.
