    If Musk had anything to do with it personally, can he be charged?

      You can drag your feet as long as you can pay a lawyer to find a reason to stand up and argue. Somehow that’s not generally obstruction of justice. See how Trump has always evaded jail with this tactic.

        Not for their argument they can’t.

        They seem to have been arguing about the non-disclosure to the public/Trump, not the actual delivery of the tweets.

        If they’d delivered the tweets/drafts, they would have complied with no downside, and still been able to fight the non-disclosure. (Or just do what they did anyway, and tell people about it)
