He also ordered the doj to open a new investigation which allows his doj to bar any release of the files related to an “open case.” His followers have to be irredeemably brainwashed to accept this.

which allows his doj to bar any release of the files related to an “open case.”
What is that based on? Law? Doesn’t seem like the DOJ’s policies should be able to override one of the three constitutionally prescribed authorities of our country..
Really it will be the GOP letting it happen.
No, the current bill proposed allows the DOJ to redact any information related to victims or an ongoing case.
By opening a huge investigation, it basically means they can redact anything they feel like because "ongoing investigation".
At this point, I refuse to believe that the original files will be released unedited.
Trump's team has a had unrestricted access to the files for a very long time. The original files probably exists somewhere, they are too valuable for a career politician to not either do a quick ctrl+c ctrl+v or just doing a classic photographing the screen.
Now that he knows the vote is going to go against him, time for plan B. He can't let it appear that Congress would actually defy him so he has to "call for" it to happen so they still appear to be obeying him.
I'd be surprised if his minions in charge of the DOJ haven't already destroyed anything damaging to him as soon as they could get hold of it, but in any case we know they have a plan in place for DOJ to not release anything bad for him.
After thousands of FBI agents redacted all mentions of him?
He just needed time for someone to sift through and "disappear" all the incriminating documents. Now the rest can be released.
I have been concerned for a long time that they may try to release doctored documents
They 100% are going to.
and they will get Maxwell and Mark Epstein to back them up.
They will focus entirely on Clinton, who frankly needs to go to jail as much as Trump. Give them the honeymoon suite.
Donald! You can just tell the DOJ to release them. You campaigned on releasing them, so just do it. They don't need to vote on it if you just do it.
Let's all mentally prepare ourselves for Trump to claim he wishes he could release these documents but his gosh darn DOJ just won't do it because they're using them to investigate Bill Clinton or whoever and he certainly wouldn't ever want to interfere with a federal investigation
Don’t give em ideas.
It’s not a reversal it’s the next step in the coverup. Now that he knows it will be released with or without his approval he’s betting that if he says at the last moment he wants them released that he will look like the good guy.
But also, to be clear, nobody has ever said that Trump did anything wrong but the fact he is / was so against them being released means that he is protecting somebody. Himself? Clinton, Gates, Musk? Who knows but it doesn’t fucking matter.
Release the files, no matter who’s in them!
Hm? I feel like a lot of people said he did a lot of fucking things wrong.
Pretty sure it was assumed he might be in them, but it only became extremely obvious that something potentially damning was in them when he started fighting it so hard despite saying he'd release them before getting elected.
But if you mean in general, then yeah, for sure lol.
He’s protecting the trove of blackmail itself. It’s not about a specific who that’s in it— blackmail material loses its value once it’s released and that is decades and dozens of powerful people who will suddenly be useless. Epstein and Maxwell weren’t making their money from trafficking. They were making their money from collecting and selling all manner of secrets.
There is no absolute proof...yet. Until then we can best use the "If it walks like a duck" offensive.
This is called "getting ahead of the story." The only problem is this story is a speeding freight train, and it's going to turn everyone in its path into a pink mist.
We can only hope!
He just got a text that they finished replacing references to his name with Clinton, no need to delay anymore
"We'd love to. But only the bits of it we want to show you"
Isn't it, you know a conflict of interest for him to have the ability to veto it if it passes the House and Senate, considering he's involved in all this?
In theory, they can pass this with a veto-proof majority.
In practice, you may have spotted a flaw in the US Constitution here. I'll add it to the pile.
The Founders: "Look, you guys were supposed to keep improving on it more than you did."
Also the Founders: " Oh God is that a woman voting? Is that a black person who has rights? What are those filthy Irish people are doing everywhere? This government was only supposed to be for wealthy white landowning Anglo-Saxon Protestants."
Boston Tea Party: This isn't what we meant with "spill the tea" !
Except they knew times would change, and so would those things in the public eye, so the document they wrote had to be malleable as well. If you think about it, while a lot of society has improved in respect to those topics, there's still people who think that way, and we haven't come as far as we should have in this time. So let's not get too high and mighty because again, we could have been a lot further along by now.
Keep in mind that future us will be doing the same thing, looking back at what we're doing or not doing and wondering, wtf was their problem?
"We got the things about guns in there, what else do we need?"
If it's going to happen anyway, they might as well claim political credit for the thing they used to oppose, right?
They control the department of justice, both houses of congress, and the supreme court
Don’t get your hopes up
Man this "hoax" sure has a lot of material
They will play the democrat card.
DOJ: 'Nope, still investigating the Dem names in there.... Dunno how much longer this will take... Wish we could help you...'
I can't decide if Trump thinks this will make him look like less of a lame duck when the vote passes the house, or if Trump is trying to reverse psychology them out of it.
Ok... You heard him! Release them!
