I've been thinking about this, and I'm not certain. It's the obvious conclusion, and a sensible one. But there may be something more. I suspect that the documents won't help Bolto, but I expect that whatever they say, they will be used in as partisan a manner as anything and used to justify even further delay, without creating actual substantive objection. If that's the case, then there's no point in providing the docs, since the lines are already formed. Might as well push forward.

Calling it partisan isn't quite right, since I don't think the filibuster would stand if it didn't have some GOP support. Moderate Republicans don't like Bolton, and the most damaging testimony against him came from Republicans.
I don't see how a filibuster could be sustained once the documents are forked over, after all that's been said.
