    Dept of Justice declassified them on Jan 9th this year. He was a little busy that week doing a massive pile of other things, besides Trump had promised to release them, why would he prioritise something no one was asking for ahead of things like student debt relief and pardons for non violent drug offenders ?

      So the files were unsealed for a year during Bidens administration and they still weren’t released?

          Ok, so he had a week. Call me crazy, but the pedophile ring that supposedly implicates our entire ruling class in child molestation is kind of important, and the people should know about it.

            Biden had a week. Trump has had 6 months. Trump campaigned on releasing it, Biden was hurriedly trying to get too much done in too little time.

            If there’s Democrats on the list they should rot in hell with Trump and Epstein.

            But pointing the finger at Biden is straight up deflection to protect Trump. There is no other way to view it.

            Trump & Bondi have the primary culpability here. Whataboutism really only protects the Fanta Felon
