11. A court order does not have the same effect as a "strongly worded letter."

Thu Feb 5, 2026, 09:24 PM

Thursday

DOJ is contending the redantions were necessary to protect the innocent and this complied with the law. Litigation will resolve that issue. The judge will be able to have an in camera review of the documents to determine if what was redacted was something that should have been redacted under the law. If it turns out it should not have been redacted, the judge will order it disclosed, and hold administration officials in contempt, even jail them, if they don't comply.

So other than this litigation, what do you suggest Democrats have in their power to do that would be more effective?
