There was congressional testimony that they had sent requests back for various reasons. Perhaps their objections were always subsequently met, though I doubt it.
Maybe I’ll look up a source tomorrow you can show her.

Essentially a judge turning down a request gets bombarded with the system. Instead of the requesting agency explaining themselves adequately, the judge specific judge, must explain in enormous length why he disagrees with the requesting agency.
It's one of those "Disagree with our request and we will bury you for the next six months" kinda things.
Are you sure you’re hanging around the right site..?
