Additionally, as I understand it, it was still in active investigation in 2024. Also, he can't just "release the files", it required an act of Congress to be released.

Do I think he should have tried? Yes, but I'd be 0% surprised if he's all over them too.

    If Biden is all over them you don’t think Trump would release every mention of him?

    It's much more likely he's in someone's pocket and they're in there. And Trump's just not aware of the connection between the two

    I can see him not releasing information to protect Israel but I’m sceptical he’s bought by an individual.

    I can see it either way. But I agree it's more likely the old bastard is protecting Israel like he always has.

    Just saw the aipac warchest is like $80m for the midterms.... But if they pass this new law about requiring passport and/or birth certificate to vote, we're gonna be hosed. Only half of Americans have a passport, and many millions don't have access to their identifying records.

    Edit: fixed dollar amount

    I don't think this is true. It only required Congress in this instance, because Trump was never going to do it unilaterally.

    Trump was never going to do it unilaterally.

    This was made clearly evident by the fact that even after an act of Congress, they still haven't complied with the law compelling their release.
