So what happens when the House comes back into session?

8. So it compels DOJ to provide all their records

and in cases where redactions are allowable, DOJ has to provide an account of each redaction and the legal basis for such.

THIS is why Johnson has been stonewalling. We know Trump will not allow DOJ to comply, and they will drag their feet for a long time. But this might expose DOJ employees to criminal prosecution in the post-Trump days if they impede this order from the House.

However ... there is a gigantic loophole. Classified records are excluded, and DoJ (or Trump himself) can classify anything. The resolution says that they cannot redact based on embarrassment or for political protection. But that is only for unclassified material. There is nothing in the resolution that requires DoJ to produce, disclose or even vaguely describe any classified arterial.
