Blanche indicated they will not get to all the files out and why. Whether that truly violates the "law" will be determined, though nothing has indicated they do not intend to full comply. Did he say he was NOT going to ultimately comply? Or that they needed more time?
There's nothing to "determine". The law states they must all be released today. They stated they will
You are really poor at reviewing your source material. Section 2 (c) contradicts your representation of what the law says.
What are the consequences of missing the deadline? And will they really miss the deadline?
They have 15 days to explain any information withheld. Are you going to say that "we are still reviewing information for redaction as it relates to the Section 2 (c) Permitted Withholdings" will be considered as having violated the law?
Quote:
SEC. 3. REPORT TO CONGRESS.
Within 15 days of completion of the release required under Section 2, the Attorney General shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on the Judiciary a report listing:
(1) All categories of records released and withheld.
Prohibited Grounds for Withholding.--No record shall be
withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of any of the following:
``(1) Embarrassment, reputational harm, or political
sensitivity, including to any government official, public
figure, or foreign dignitary.
``(c) Permitted Withholdings.--
``(1) The Attorney General may withhold or redact the
segregable portions of records that--
``(A) contain personally identifiable information
of victims or victims' personal and medical files and
similar files the disclosure of which would constitute
a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
``(B) depicts or contains child sexual abuse
materials (CSAM) as defined under 18 U.S.C. 2256 and
prohibited under 18 U.S.C. 2252-2252A;
``(C) would jeopardize an active federal
investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that
such withholding is narrowly tailored and temporary;
``(D) depicts or contains images of death, physical
abuse, or injury of any person; or
``(E) contain information specifically authorized
under criteria established by an Executive order to be
kept secret in the interest of national defense or
foreign policy and are in fact properly classified
pursuant to such Executive order.
``(2) All redactions must be accompanied by a written
justification published in the Federal Register and submitted
to Congress.
``(3) To the extent that any covered information would
otherwise be redacted or withheld as classified information
under this section, the Attorney General shall declassify that
classified information to the maximum extent possible.
``(A). If the Attorney General makes a
determination that covered information may not be
declassified and made available in a manner that
protects the national security of the United States,
including methods or sources related to national
security, the Attorney General shall release an
unclassified summary for each of the redacted or
withheld classified information.
``(4) All decisions to classify any covered information
after July 1, 2025 shall be published in the Federal Register
and submitted to Congress, including the date of
classification, the identity of the classifying authority, and
an unclassified summary of the justification.
"We did not have enough time to do our jobs" is not a permitted witholding.
