  1. This is rank speculation, but when DOJ announces a press conference for a particular time and then is late getting going, it can mean they want something to be unsealed before they talk about it and it is taking longer than they anticipated for the court to do it.

      So they were waiting for their motion to unseal the search warrant & related materials to be docketed. That allowed Garland to explain that DOJ wants to say more -- since Trump, who could disclose them, isn't doing so -- but DOJ can't until judge gives permission.

        Everyone is all spun up right now but we're unlikely to see anything immediately. The court has to give Trump -- who has chosen not to make this stuff public on his own -- an opportunity to object. If he does, both sides would then file briefs. pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/42/617854/051124958202.pdf

          The judge says he wants DOJ to give a copy of its motion to Trump's lawyer and then to tell him by 3 p.m. tomorrow whether Trump objects to unsealing the docs.
