James Comey reportedly is being investigated for possibly lying to Congress during testimony in 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information.
If the files themselves have become the distraction, then of course they haven’t been released. MAGA folks say diddling kids would be a step too far, but they won’t acknowledge it, no matter how concrete the evidence. Saying they believe one thing while their actions prove another is their whole MO. Take, for example, how they say they only oppose illegal immigration while also making it harder to be here legally (and now arrest people who are here legally anyway), or how they claim to be Christians who support the sick and poor, while gutting every program designed to fill those needs.
I don’t see what mechanism would be activated to get Trump removed, let alone enough other politicians that it would constitute a “reset.” It’d be far better for the rest of us with functional brains to be discussing the latest constitutional violations and corruption, like how Tom Homan took a blatant $50,000 bribe and isn’t being prosecuted because he has the magic R, or how the FCC is allowing anticompetitive corporate actions to go unchallenged (Intel and Nvidia’s newly announced partnership, Paramount paying Trump $16 million to get their merger with Skydance approved), and on and on. These are important stories that can keep people motivated to organize, to talk to each other, and to take real action. Not repeatedly filling every comment section with the exact same words.
Another concern is that the people likely to be implicated in those files are the same ones in charge of them, so the only way they could ever come out is in a state that is either heavily redacted or outright edited to replace the names of loyal Republicans with those of political opponents, and that means spending all this time specifically calling for the files is going to backfire if it ever does happen. We can already say with confidence Trump is likely a pedophile. He was good friends with Epstein, we have creepy correspondence between the two, we have fucking photos of them together, we have so many people coming out to say they were there, they were abused. MAGAs say they wouldn’t support a pedophile, but they’ll never believe Their Guy could be one. The evidence already exists! These are the type of people who called COVID a hoax even as they lay dying in their hospital beds.
I dunno, it’s not like Trump’s connection to Epstein should be forgotten about, but calls specifically for the files in every fucking comment section aren’t helping. Honestly, if you still really want to spam every comment section with it, just directly call him a pedo. It’s already clear, and we don’t need the files for that.
