Until the bosses come clean, preferably BEFORE this deformity gets fast-tracked, we won't have anything else, BUT leaks.

But they don't want to release it in time for people to analyze the actual document because it would raise an outcry and prevent it from passing. They want to slip it through before any effective opposition can be mobilized. So all we'll have until AFTER it becomes law is leaks.
