Reviewing thousands of pages of evidence to make a complex, fact-intensive legal conclusion on obstruction ought to be as time intensive as vetting a 400 page report for material that shouldn’t be released.

Third, if this exercise was all about controlling the roll-out spin, and they’re holding the #MuellerReport back to let the Trump roll-out spin set, becoming an agent of White House spin control is not a great way to discharge your first major task as Attorney General.
