  1. “It’s going to pass with a supermajority and I can’t stop it, so let’s lean into it and come up with a Plan B.”

  2. He realized he couldn’t convince the Republicans, so he’s siding with them to make it look like he’s still in charge.

  3. Not stunning, and not a reversal. Just a way of taking credit for the inevitable–and gaining some control over the outcome or many outcomes.

    They fucking really did it didn’t they? They went all in to protect a child rapist by falsifying the record.

    How do we know whether or not the DOJ tampered with the files to make it look bad for the Democratic Party? I see tons of redditors saying a majority of Republicans are gonna vote yes because of optics and all that, but I have a feeling they’ve been told by the administration that the files are good to go and they’ll all be safe.

  6. “I totally want you to do this. I was only doing everything I could to stop it for months because I wanted you to really want it as much as me. Why would you think I’m only supporting it because I know dozens of republicans are ready to vote for it now?”

    Guess they finally finished doctoring and/or destroying everything that incriminates him

  8. He doesn’t want that added humiliation of everyone voting to release them when he said not to. Worried about republicans realizing they do in fact have the ability to say fuck off to trump.

    He has no choice.  

    It’s untenable to fight his own party on this and Republicans made clear they were voting to release.

    Trump lives day to day.

    Now he has to react to whatever is in them and hope he can survive. 

    Either way he is severely weakened.   He may even be actually toast.  We will find out.

  10. ‘Cause he hid what he could.

    Someone has the real unedited files somewhere. See who’s brave enough to just release them to the public.

  11. He used the words, “whatever they’re legally entitled to,” which means they’re going to use the DOJ’s investigation into Clinton to block the release of the damning stuff. Can’t think of any other reason he would use wording that specific.

    They opened an investigation regarding the contents of these files conveniently timed before the vote so they can claim certain aspects need to be redacted or kept hidden from the public to protect the integrity of the investigation

    It’s going to pass so he’s acting like he “ordered” to release them and take credit.

    For the objectionable stuff against him in those files, he has already pivoted to claiming that the files were “fiddled” with after the 2020 election.

    The reality is he and his hench people have had control of the files and could have done whatever they wanted with them. I just hope that someone who has a copy squirreled away somewhere will do the full release. This man needs to be impeached removed and jailed immediately. This country will not survive him for another 3+ years.

    They’ve already found a way to block it.

    Senate won’t vote to release it, or since the DOJ is investigating it they can’t release it therefore him saying this is clear as day theatrics.

  16. They were gonna do it en masse anyway, this is just Trump protecting his image as the leader of the party. You wouldn’t be bringing Boebert into the situation room to try & change her vote if you wanted this; the dam broke and now he’ll pretend it was a part of the plan.

  17. It’s literally his tax returns all over again. “I’d love to show my tax returns, but there’s an audit” “I’d love to release the Epstein docs, but there’s an active investigation”.

  18. The files are wrapped up in an investigation. He will say that he wants to release him, but they can’t because they’re investigating. If confused see section a1

  19. Wayward_Whines on

    Didn’t he task a shit ton of fbi guys to take him out of the files? I guess they’ finished today.

  20. It’s too late. They’ve already tampered with the documents and whatever comes out isn’t going to have credibility

  21. That means we’re getting a highly edited version, there’s no way he starts to be calm unless the files have been sanitized. The entire administration is crooked.

  22. IamCrazyLegs77 on

    The surprise will be they can’t release the files because DJT had the DOJ open an investigation into the Democrats which in turn will keep the files from being released because there’s an active investigation. Surprise!

  23. AWholeNewFattitude on

    Because he knows that DOJ is gonna say they can’t release anything because there’s ongoing investigations, which he just called for two days ago….

  24. trollmonster8008 on

    This is due to one of the following: 1) it’s inevitable and he knows it. By saying this it makes it appear he’s in control. 2) DOJ opening a new investigation means they can’t release anything related to an open investigation. 3) DOJ have already scrubbed anything more incriminating.
