I normally wouldn’t trust Graham as he is anti-Trump and depends on the media and zero accountability to shield him; however, he has nowhere to hide here.
The Media doesn’t have to report it, if he fails here, he’s caught.
So, I think Graham understands he has to go forward and get it done.

“So, I think Graham understands he has to go forward and get it done.”
You better believe there is a political calculation going on here. I suspect getting it as close to the end of October (the 29th has been previously bandied about) gives the Dems no time to pontificate or rant about other than the ongoing hearings right up the very end. No more talk about impeachment, no good chance for an October surprise that will stick while the hearings are continuing, and the punchline (the vote for Judge Amy) comes just 4 days before the election. And the public will be focusing on celebrating Halloween at the very end of the month anyway.
No real chance for shenanigans by the Dems as it will be all hearings all the time. It’s called running out the clock. The Dems will be hysterical the whole time and hopefully, in their tither, they will slip up and attack Judge Barrett too vociferously, thus showing their true evil rotten personalities to the watching public.
The only thing I know that’s out there that they could attack Trump on would be his tax records the New York DA is trying desperately to get his hands on before the election. A NY Circuit Court Judge approved the release of the documents. It just went before a NY Appeals Court Judge and they played the proceeding requesting the tax records on C-Span. I watched some of it.
It is obvious that this NY Jewish Dem Judge is going to allow the records to be produced; however, I am certain this decision would immediately be appealed up to the Supreme Court. If the NY Supreme Court agrees with the Circuit Court and Appeals level Judges, and as they are almost if not all Dems on the SC, then they too will allow the tax returns to be given to the NY DA.
The question is, can this SC decision then be switched over to the federal courts and worked up the ladder on the federal level, thus playing out the judicial clock. Or does the buck stop with the NY Supreme Court. It’s a race to the very end as to whether Trump’s tax returns will be outed before the election. You know the Dems will make as much hay as they can picking through the returns and will scream that Trump should be brought up on charges of alleged over-inflation as to the value of his properties for tax purposes (to lower his tax burden). However, even that scenario, I maintain, will not be able to cut through the noise of voting to place Judge Amy Barrett on the Supreme Court.
Not enough days left to cause Prez Trump serious problems regarding his tax returns, which will look miniscule in comparison to the vote to put Judge Barrett on the Supreme Court that will take place late in the game. And then a few days later, we vote. And Trump wins, I suspect by a landslide.
Sandlappers now are not too happy with him this cycle.
