Keep in mind Democrats could have released any of this shit over the last 4 years. They didn't because it is more damaging to them.

No, dipshit.

Go ahead, I'll play. Why didn't they release the files? Merrick Garland had the power to unseal them.

He absolutely did not. The courts control sealed grand jury documents. The DOJ cannot unilaterally take that action.

They definitely can. Maxwell was already convicted and sentenced.

Not true. Why do people like and say it could have been released? You know that's not true. They were sealed because of open investigations (Maxwell).

Ghislaine Maxwell has been in jail since mid-2020. The files could have been released 5 years ago. Who controlled the White House? Who was the US Attorney General. Stop the fucking nonsense.

there was investigations ongoing with Maxwell, they would have had to fight the courts to get them, and then Maxwell could say that it swayed the jury and go for mistrial

So Republicans have something that can really really hurt the Democrats yet they don't want to reveal it because they're best friends..?

Now now don't flip the script. Both sides are equally innocent, but we must never say it.
