Oh, so it’s okay the files are released in their entirety? Maybe this statement counts as an order to release the files.

    You don’t think that means they are done purging every copy of the files in existence of any mention of people in his corner?

      Either the pedo-files have been scrubbed, or he got the go ahead to have the DOJ tie it up in an investigation so that he can now say, “I really wish we could show them, but my hands are tied!”

    What I still don’t get is why the dems didn’t release the files when they could. We could have been freed from Trump and other pedophiles.

      I’m assuming it’s most likely those files are also riddled with dems in them.

      At this point, release the files and put everyone in them who’s guilty away. If they’re guilty of raping children castrate them.

      America needs to rebuild its government from the ground up.

      Death to pedophiles.

    What he says and what he does is two DIFFERENT things.

    He SAYS things to distract you from what he is DOING.

      If it doesn’t affect his power he doesn’t need to care.

      Fox and friends will make sure the people who support him never hear about it, or hear the opposite of what the rest of us do.

        Why should he care if they prove he committed heinous crimes? Nothing is going to be done about it

            He has already been convicted of multiple other felonies and doesn’t serve time. Why should this be any different?

              I don’t know that it would be, but he sure seems to think so. I think him trying so desperately to cover it up for so long has made it more damaging than it would have been if he’d just owned it when his cult was clamoring for the files to be released. He’d downplay it with his usual word salad, news articles would be written about how terrible it was, and nothing of consequence would happen to him. Now, though? It’s not just about the horrendous crimes, but his betrayal of his conspiracy theorist cult. Maybe it would still amount to nothing, but he hasn’t done himself any favors by alienating his cultists.

            I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how Trump will face repercussions for these crimes when he hasn’t for any other crimes. Who is going to prosecute him? What is the plan if the files prove he committed heinous crimes? Since he’s clearly immune to all consequences of crimes, I think he’s more concerned about people thinking he’s gay

              IF anything happens to him, it will be because he has eroded the trust of his conspiracy theorist cult by trying to cover up his pedophilia more than the pedophilia itself. A lot of his power is derived from his cult, which the Republicans are terrified of alienating. If he loses enough of their support, Republicans won’t be so hell-bent on protecting him at all costs. It’s a big “if.”

                I don’t see hiw him losing supporters is going to matter. It isn’t like there’s an election coming up. He said, if you vote for him you’ll never have to vote again. He doesn’t need the support of the people now that he’s already in power

                  Ah, but he does, because Republicans who do need their support to stay in power look to them when deciding to bend over to Dear Leader. None of them actually like him. He’s only immune from consequences because Republicans allow it. If enough of his cult turned on him, they would as well. Not saying it’s going to happen, only that it’s a possibility.

      Nah. I’m sure he knows he’s in them. He probably just thought he could tell one of his sycophants to remove or redact his name like they could just do a “find all” and delete. He probably thinks his name has been scrubbed.
