    I have a question, and maybe this isn’t the right place for it, but why do the files name the bad guys so often? Like, they had these files themselves for so long, why release the bad files? Why not just release clean ones and claim that’s all of them? Why not release files with Obama, Bob Ross, Mr Rogers, and Geordi from Star Trek in them? Not LeVar but the character himself.

    Is there some, like, published hash or something? Some set of receipts that tell us that these are even the files, or how many there might have been at one point or another? I’m not saying the ones we’ve seen are forged… I think I’m asking why aren’t they?

      IMHO, the scale is too large for a cover up like that. There’s too many individuals, companies (many of these email addresses are gmail, yahoo… private email servers) and foreign governments involved.

      Many of these emails are in an evidence room already from the 2008 (edit: I guess I’m assuming here for 2008) and 2019 court cases. If you mess with them too much, just for example, some random federal or state level DOJ employee could leak stuff, personal risk be damned. Or, another example, some foreign government might decide causing societal chaos in the USA is worth more than protecting Lord Toucheskids and release what they have.

      The only reason they’re releasing anything at all is because they have to maintain the illusion of a working DOJ and congress. Too much of the American public is truly mad about this stuff to just ignore an act of congress about it. They released the files in the most optimum way for their goals IMHO: literally everything, an unorganized firehose full of duplicates, random redactions, and a few FBI tip-line interviews that are provably untrue, along with the true ones, and the indeterminate. It’ll take forever to sort through it all, and Trump/others implicated are banking on it.

    Bill Gates actually isn’t that rich now, because he gave very generous donations to charities. I still consider him a pretty good guy, but not as bad as Musty Musky. I don’t know everything he’s done, good or bad, but him not keeping his money to himself and using it to make rockets and houses on Mars makes him a better man then most of the people in the 'Files.

    Also, he supports gay marriage! He donated 500,000$ in support of gay marriage. ( n U n )
