My bets are on scrubbing of republican names.
I also think the rumours of Trump blowing Bill are what made Trump want to release them all of a sudden, and so we will see something that shows he didn't do it or it wasn't Bill, etc (whether faked or not).
He says release them, but he has the ability to do that himself. He’s just stalling.
He also must approve it, so in the end he can just not do it (like stalling x 100).
What a shit system the USA has.
Edit: USA still has a shit system but he can be forced to go with it, thanks @shalafi
That’s true. And if you look at most other countries, their systems are shit too. The problem is the ruling class of the world.
Well, we'll always need some sort of "ruling class" but they should not have more power than needed so a system with compromises seems to be the best one IMO, like German/Scandinavian ones.
We don’t need a ruling “class.” This means money. We need elected leaders with short terms and fair elections. I giggled typing that, because it’s never gonna happen
Touché.
Yep, I mean what should we do with politicians if they expire after say 8 years? They're good for nothing.
Trump doesn't have to approve jack shit. The vote to release the Kraken was 427-1 in the House and the Senate is promising a unanimous vote. You cannot get more veto proof than that.
If Trump had the means to edit this shit, how the hell did he fail with last week's release? Nah, for Trump the night is dark and full of terrors.
I hope you're right, but we've been down this road before where we thought he was toast.
Nah, nothing like this. The entire GOP has turned on him. This shit is so bad Trump even had to preempt them. "Go for it! Release the files!"
We haven't seen this!
True, but NYC went to a socialist democrat. The GOP are worried right now. Again, I want you to be right.
He has to sign it / veto it except if there is a "supermajority" in both the chambers IIRC.
The Kraken? Ha ha I checked it out and ofc it was a qanon conspiracy bullshit lol. But you are right, Trump can't do anything if there is a supermajority
Now, if he wanted to release the pero-files he could just order it, why has he been trying to not get them released? He has his reasons, and he can try to stall again ofc / convince people to not vote in the senate etc etc.
But you're right, he can be forced.
Didn't they have the FBI working round the clock to find references to Trump in the files? No doubt they were also burning or at least heavily redacting those files
I'm thinking he'll get out the sharpie he used to change the path of the hurricane and make some equally clever edits.
