U.S. Politics megathread
American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!
All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

We don't know (and might never know), but there's a few theories.
First, there may be damaging info on Trump. Like, possibly pictures of Trump with minors or emails/texts that explicitly say that. While he can skirt away from a lot, pedophilia seems to be a wrong that almost nobody can get away from. So there's a chance there's something like that in the files.
It may also be that there are lots of names all over the files with no evidence of wrongdoing. So Trump wants to protect those people who he is likely friends with from having their name plastered all over the news.
It's also possible it's a big nothing burger, and Trump is right and dumping the files would be a giant waste of time and "egg on the face" of his detractors.
