fascinating. Were their more delays during the trump administration that those before and after? I can just see Rick Perry going "what nuclear documents? I thought we covered fossil fuels."

That’s a great question, I wonder what the data says.

the DOJ’s OIP tracks how many requests proceed to litigation but I don’t think they track the why. However, whether a FOIA case is stayed is fairly obvious (the status conferences suddenly stop happening for months after a motion to stay). Perhaps it’ll be content for a future post!
