They generally try to wrap things up by the end of June. We've known for some time that this week was going to be bombshell week.

They also generally save the most impactful cases for last. A Friday release was basically a lock.

Here's an article explaining the expectations, timing, etc.:

The women who have the brains to protest / oppose this bs likely already hate qpukes & largely know what has gone on.

and nobody with a functioning brain thought the final version would be significantly different. Because of the leak the media won't have a lot new to say, so they'll gnaw on it for a couple of days and go right back to the scandals being uncovered by the 1/6 committee. When the hearings start up again all that shit and more will be front and center.

Clarence too. I don't understand how this corrupt ruling can stand. The motherfucker provided assistance and support for a coup plot. Our country is such a joke now. Pres Biden is probably so embarrassed right now.
