This feels like another trap.
Why else did hundreds of FBI employees pour through the files earlier this year if not to redact Krasnov and other billionaire
names from ever seeing the light of day.?
I do not trust our government or those in charge, and feel like were about to be not only bamboozled, but punished for it afterwards.
We have no control. No one is coming to save us. We already know hes all over the files and barely a single repuke cares.

However, I really doubt it is something novel or unimagined, from a category or type standpoint. It is probably more of the same sort of thing which everyone already knows and half the country already ignores or excuses.

They can redact, delete, destroy all they want.
There will be whistleblowers.

Documents from the Trump White House are already damning on a historic scale. But what about the materials that Mark Meadows literally set on fire?

Its been well documented that Rep. Scott Perry met then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows after the 2020 election, which was itself controversial: By all accounts, the Republicans were exploring how best to keep Donald Trump in power, despite his defeat. But just as notable is what happened in the immediate aftermath of their conversation.
Politico reported in May that Meadows, after meeting with the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, discarded papers in a White House fireplace. The revelation came by way of Cassidy Hutchinson, the chief of staffs top aide.

(30,624 posts)PedoGate scares the hell out of Krasnov, he is ordering Congressional Magats not to talk about Epstein.
I say, pour it on. I want to see how many House Magats vote to release the files, we are up to 5 so far. That my friends are small cracks in the dam.
Yes, it is up to us to throw out the billionaires but I believe we get a significant number of unwashed Magats to join us.
Remember during the campaign how Krasnov ran on releasing the files? Remember how Pam Bondi had bogus stacks of supposed Epstein files on the Capitol steps, proclaiming the Epstein files are going to be released, remember? I bet some unwashed Magats remember.

This is all a big shiny object to keep our minds off the fact that 8 or more traitors gave away our only chance to stop him, to claw back some basic rights. That's no more, we are screwed and the files ain't going to help US at all.

Then we no longer will have the numbers for a discharge petition. I agree Trump and the MAGAs will have much in the way of sabotage planned.
