6. Except that the Trump DOJ didn't set the deadline.

That's really on Congress, passed 11/19/25 with deadline 5 days before Xmas. It was written by Massie (at least mostly) and I don't see him being a big supporter of Trump, (R) or not.

Everybody that was pro-Trump seemed against it until they realized that on this they would lose and signing the bill would be the lesser loss.

I wonder if a motion to move the deadline to 2 weeks later, 1/2/26, would have been put up for debate/vote had it been made. (Didn't hear that one was, but that would have been a blip and I suspect most pundits and congressfolk would have objected strenuously, but wasn't really paying close attention at the time.)
