Lostsailor73 on
He’s got Bondi in line. Both houses of Congress will likely agree to release it in their plan is to say that there is a current investigation and they’ll release it at the investigations conclusion. The investigation will then be done sometime in the early 2300s.
It’s the only way really, they’re not dumb enough to release the documents with 1253 John Doe in it
True_Let_2007 on
He thinks he is clever but he is just pathetic! Facing 40-50 “traitors” at the congress vote on files release he is now asking republicans to vote for the release, hence masking the traitors’ number and preventing obvious consequences of a “save our souls” and desertion en-masse!
SandersSol on
You can’t release documents which are part of an active investigation. He just made it an active investigation by saying he wants democrats prosecuted over what’s in the files.
Nothing is going to be released.
Etzell on
There’s nothing he can do to stop the House from moving forward, so now he’s pretending it’s his idea.
Musicman1972 on
Unredacted and complete or it means nothing.
That’s not a political statement.
It’s a “man says everything is a democrat hoax and any republican who wants to see it is falling for BS” statement.
Because of course someone who isn’t negatively included in documents, whilst their enemies are, will expend their energy for years demanding aggressively that no one see what’s there.
Of course his base wont think it at all worthy of second thought that the fact he’s not in it must *be the hoax* by his own continual definition.

3. And if I did, it wasn’t that bad…
sylvesterZoilo_ on
For now, he’s trying to play the “look good, do nothing card”
Don’t forget…
The Senate also has to vote yes and Trump has to sign the bill to release the files for DOJ to publish the documents.
So basically, this is to calm the MAGA base who desperately need a talking point and to ease off some pressure given how incriminating the emails make him look.
So he might as well pretend to be transparent until it either stalls in the Senate or he vetoes the bill when it gets to his desk.
Neither_Transition_7 on
I believe he is just trying to save face since the House will clearly vote to release. He will try to pull investigation shenanigans to block it. I read that if the House is doing this vote it means they have the right to release the documents? Or it will go to his desk and he can veto it, and he’s just been trying to avoid that. I think at this point if he tried to hold up or veto it, someone should and hopefully will just leak it. Like those investigations are going nowhere anyway. How long have we been talking about these documents?! I think everyone has just had it, even his supporters. He used the investigation excuse for his taxes which never released, so it will be too obvious that he’ll never release them. It’s almost like his ongoing + increasing stress + deflection is causing more pressure on everyone’s brains being like…”What could possibly be in there?” So someone, please be a hero.
QuiGonColdGin on
There is absolutely NO way he says this now unless the files have been completely scrubbed or he completely believes they are never getting out.

Senate cronies on the record are saying they won’t vote for the release
StoicVoyager on
Sure, now that there is a new “investigation” the courts will seal it all. Then Drumpf will say they tried but couldn’t. That’s the plan.
CarlAqua42 on
Its because he has enough senators to block the vote. This way he doesn’t have to veto it
confused_ma on
An all redacted version.
ShogsKrs on
That’s because he plans to veto the bill.
OR stall the release. See below.
“In July 2025, Trumps (DOJ) and FBI formally ended their investigation into potential uncharged co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein, stating they found insufficient evidence to predicate further investigations.”
That didn’t stop the push to release the Epstein files.
The shutdown bought him time to craft a new “investigation”.
The shutdown ends.
218 signatures happened.
A NEW investigation is announced into potential uncharged co-conspirators.
Trump says he’s OK with the release, KNOWING he has two ways of stopping the release.

gingerking87 on
Someone literally told him “Mr president we have the votes” to block a veto override.
This is just a bill, trump has to sign it, which he will never do. It’s all about how many defects in the house stay on that side for the veto override.
Except unlike Nixon this wasn’t some turning point for American spines, someone just lied to the man
ShinyRobotVerse on
BS. He doesn’t need Congress to vote on anything to release the files. Congress is voting to compel him to release them. He can do it at any time without Congress. I guess they’ll use an ‘ongoing investigation’ excuse to avoid releasing them, or they’ll only release certain parts without Trump’s name in them. Everything else will ‘not be released due to the investigation.’
GPhex on
It’s pretty obvious they’ve finished scrubbing them of Trump’s involvement.
The thing is, the FBI is not going to be the only place these files exist. I’m expecting that for every cache released we are also going to see another source release the unredacted version which will be even more damaging for Trump.

Don’t get fooled people. 1. Donald trump called for an “investigation” into democrats last week (Doj-Pam Bondi has had the files for 11 months, but ok) 2. Pam Bondi with Doj agrees to investigate. 3 Trump calls for release of files and for republicans to vote-helping them to save face. 4. After the vote Pam Bondi from the DOJ will fall on her sword and tell the country that the files can’t be released due to an active investigation 5. Pedo Dementia Don-Old and the billionaires that use America’s working class daughters as a sexual commodity will be protected yet again.

Just going to zoom out a little bit and reflect that he campaigned on releasing the files and we are now 11 months in to his administration and still nothing. And if you look at all the reasons they’ve given over the past year it seems pretty clear what they’re doing.
This is just another “sitting on my desk right now” moment.
