1. A court ordered the release of the documents

pursuant to a lawsuit brought by a citizen organization, American Oversight, under the Freedom of Information Act.

4. But why did this order take effect where so many end up at the Supreme Court?

[Liberal In Texas]

5. Because it Friday and it was an order.
