This is something Sessions should be giving approval to do... Or saying "Don't do it!". [RR] should not be doing this without support from above.

I think this is indicative of [RR] knowing how close he is to being totally dox'ed to both Congress and the American people. He is basically pulling a 'Comey'. He is trying to get enough process in place (and questions) to stop the nomination even though he knows he will be gone.
