National Archives counsel has said they will not be done even reviewing the records Grassley requested regarding Kavanaugh until late October.

The Senate Judiciary Committee file is a single PDF: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Correction: Sorry, it was 9,714 pages. I was typing too quickly.

As @lex_nyc reminded me, the Kavanaugh memo in my story also has this ~relevant to our 2018 eyes~ part about DOJ not turning over "documents pertaining to an open investigation" to Congress as "standard practice." —>
