Hours before the start of hearings on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, the lawyer for former president George W. Bush turned over 42,000 pages of documents from the nominee’s service in the Bush White House, angering Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, who issued what is certain to be a futile call to delay the proceedings.
“Not a single senator will be able to review these records before tomorrow,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted Monday evening.
Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), responded that “our review team will be able to complete its examination of this latest batch in short order, before tomorrow’s hearing begins.” A few hours later, a tweet from the committee said that the “Majority staff has now completed its review of each and every one of these pages.”

Did he get them at the McCain funeral?
This is designed to delay the hearings scheduled for 9:30 this morning.
A s#*tty thing for the Bush lawyers to do, IMHO.
we have to confirm him to find out what’s in it!
I’m surprised these weren’t covered, constitutionally, by Executive Privilege... and/or that Bush didn’t assert it.
Advice to the President must be given freely, without fear of recrimination or we have no functioning Executive.
Well, accorsing to our Founders anyway. But what did they know?...
Why the hell are Bush lawyers releasing anything?
They vote on thousand page bills all the time with no time to read them. What’s the problem?
My opinion - The Bush Cabal is part of the Deep State.

Why sure you can Chuck. Just call up your friend Comey. He has a program that can review 694,000 emails in a weekend.
“Not a single senator will be able to review these records before tomorrow,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted Monday evening.
“Majority staff has now completed its review of each and every one of these pages”
Do, Schumer’s staff doesn’t have good reading skills, but they all graduated from college.
Let’s think about that for a second.
No doubt the Bush lawyers included helpful summaries to direct the democrats to ‘the good parts’...
“A s#*tty thing for the Bush lawyers to do, IMHO.”
Yes, it is, but don’t blame it on the lawyers, they work for W Boosh! He’s the “$hitty thing!”

Nice try, swamp critters. You were hoping to waste our tax money by holding the hearings before everyone had all the information. Treason! A crime against the American people!
More so now that Trump is POTUS.
I think that’s been fairly obvious for some period of time.

Man, it sure is a bummer to disappoint Chuck Schumer. Hope I don’t lose too much sleep over it.
.....bingo.
Too bad Chuckie
I’ve watched as you pass ridiculously large complex bills in the same time frame
