    They can’t be released if there is an ongoing investigation; an investigation into democrats that was just magically ordered by Trump a short time ago, even though there was supposedly nothing to investigate due to it being a democrat hoax.

      The Epstein files don’t exist, but if they did they aren’t that bad, but if they are it’s no big deal cause I’m not in them, but if I am it’s fake news, and if it’s not it’s because Democrats are in them and it’s all a hoax, and if I did blow bubba he probably deserved it.

      2025’s “I want to, but I’m being audited.”

      He’ll try do this until people eventually run out of gas.

      Also he could just ignore the ongoing investigation with an executive act. So let’s see how much he cares about protecting child rapists…

      Even with an investigation ongoing…

      Obviously they can release evidence. It’s an incredibly stupid plan and only someone completely ignorant of our legal system would release evidence pre-trial…

      That being said, this admin has done it so many times I’ve legitimately lost count, more than a handful of times.

      But trump will have at least one Senator filibuster this, which is why I was really hoping they got rid of it.

        No, he did not have a single Senator holding it up it passed with unanimous consent.

        Honestly, he doesn’t need to, All he has to do is have Congress go into adjournment on the 10th day of the bill being in his hand. And then when he doesn’t sign it, it’s supposed to go back to Congress. However, if Congress is adjourned, the bill gets pocket vetoed without the ability to be brought up again.

        I’m partially expecting with how much support has changed so drastically that that’s what the current plan is. Just have Congress go into adjournment. It prevents the house from bringing it up again as the bill gets fully tossed if I understand it correctly

        although I guess that is under the statement that he can get the house to close again
