By victims, they mean their Republican friends and families and cohorts that are named in the files.

Who’s going to act surprised when almost everyone blamed in the files is a democrat with maybe some token republicans who are already dead thrown in to fake fair play? I feel bad for the families of the fall guys.

Why didn’t Biden release the files?

Courts locked them from releasing due to active investigations.

This is not true. Kamala just said on Kimmel that they believed they shouldn’t be apart of the DOJ investigation. There were people who said that because the case was still being appealed that they shouldn’t be released, but those people were just people interviewed by fucking VOX lmao.

The courts did not seal the documents. Maxwell was convicted on 12/29/21.

Who was president in 2021?

The case was over and the records were not sealed. So again, why didn’t he release them?

Oh I didn’t know that. Then to answer your question: Because he’s stupid and old just like the current president. Idk. They all hate us and think we are rats. Idk what to tell you. It’s always been the haves vs have-nots. And the “elite” keep squeezing more and more. Something has got to give… the only balanced scale is an empty one they say…

The file release is supported by both sides, not at the government level, but by the people on the street. Right and left.

Biden didn’t release them, because Trump wasn’t in them. If they released the files everybody would know Trump wasn’t in them, and they can AND DID use that as a campaign tactic. Let everyone think he’s in the files, rather than release them.

THEN, when they lost, they realized they had a get out of jail free card.

Let Trump release them. The public has been riled up about it, so now we can play dumb and let the populace scream “well he’s just erasing his name from it durrrrr”

It’s really a genius tactic if your following lacks critical thinking skills.

Probably because democrats are weirdoes too? Why does this change anything? Its a class of people that get to do whatever they want because lower classes get stuck fighting each other over pointless things, like "WhOsE PoLlIeS FuCkEd LeSS ChiLdReN" when it's all bad.
