Posted September 6, 20186 yr comment_42773 While I did my update last night, it brought back memories. If you are a Washingtonian, you know that the city clears out in August to coincide with the Congressional recess. GAO knows it too. Take a look at the number of GAO reports released on September 5, 2018--last night. Nothing sinister, they just don't want to issue a report to a near empty Congress. So they wait until Congress reconvenes in September. The protests are different. GAO is up against a day limit that is set in law.
