...they have the votes, absent true and overwhelming public outrage. And "you didn't produce all the documents" generates yawns among public and judges alike (trust me!); whereas the stuff they're hiding has a much larger chance of generating outrage.

Well, I do agree with you that "you didn't produce all the documents" is hard to gin up public outrage over -- as opposed to, say, actual bad documents....
