reason that trump ain’t “fingered” in the files, perhaps by scrubbing. So, our suspicions are probably worse than what’s in it, at same time, not releasing it is damning.

Plus, the file isn’t going to change anything. In meantime, people are scared, could literally starve, and worse.

Now if they have photos or solid evidence of trump raping /abusing innocent young women, that’s different.
