One critic called the move "a desperate attempt to distract from the Trump administration's decision to block the release of the Epstein files."

      Also 230,000 documents before the existence of online social media; God knows what kind of data they’ve collected today and of whom

        I just want to know if 99% of them are bollocks, or more than 99%.

    They did say they were gonna do this at some point before all the recent controversy and I hope the family of MLK gets something from these files, but of course he’s trying to distract from the Epstein stuff, but calling it desperate is a bit too far, why the fuck didn’t Biden release these files if it’s so desperate for Trump to do it.

      but calling it desperate is a bit too far, why the fuck didn’t Biden release these files if it’s so desperate for Trump to do it.

      Because Biden didn’t oversee the release of the official claim that there is no list and no one is implicated and there’s no more to say about Jeff’s tragic suicide after having several of his campaign staff promote that he’d finally throw all the pedos out into the sunlight to burn. Trump is clearly desperate, and it comes through in his many public statements where he flails at all sorts of pathetic rhetorical angles that don’t persuade the vast majority of people upset with him.

    With this much material, there surely must be something interesting in there, right? Like, I’m not expecting a note from the FBI about how they were able to pin the assassination on a fall guy, but there’s gotta be something . . .
