Epstein, Kiddies, And Trump. Oh, My

Jahryn posts that I won't answer it directly, right after I did.

Right after you didn't. Right after you said he should make illegal decisions without review.

As if you think these decisions were made without appeal, or for that matter that they should have been released rather than seeing people be prosecuted through normal channels.

For all the court of public opinions can ruin people, we have actual courts with actual evidence that run on things like trials, with due process, and a government that can be used for going outside it, assuming you have a D next to your name.

So no, Biden couldn't legally release it.

Trump can't either for that matter, but with Trump, that doesn't seem to matter.

If the files have Trump's name, why didn't Biden release them? If the files have Clinton's name, why didn't Trump release them?

1 Because Biden isn't Trump.

2 Because Trump is named too

3 Because Trump made the files a big deal and promised to release them. And then didn't.

Trump is despicable slimebucket. Biden isn't. This isn't that complicated. Zeesh!

If Biden was as decent as you claim, he would have released the files.

As Ziprhead pointed out (in post 454, prior to the above response), the court sealed the files during Biden's term. Are you suggesting, as a libertarian, that the POTUS should disobey the courts?

Have you ever heard of "the appeal process"? There's no indication he tried to do anything towards releasing the documents after a court sealed them. Or perhaps releasing them before the court sealed them? Nah, Biden never did anything wrong.

Federal Grand jury proceedings are secret, so it was not legally possible to release them “before” they were sealed.

Since the Trump DOJ’s request to release them transcripts has been denied twice, it is possible the Biden DOJ rightly thought attempting to release them was a waste of time.

Biden didn't release them because that's not something presidents are supposed to do, they don't interfere with the DOJ on individual cases. And DOJ policy is to not release all their documents on a case ever.

Yet Trump promised he would release them during the campaign.

Now that he's in the office, for some reason he's suddenly against it.

And the judge only sealed grand jury testimony, the judge has nothing to do with the DOJ documents.

Which is my point. Biden didn't release them because due process required not doing that lest they taint the jury.

Trump doesn't release them because he doesn't want the process that happens after due process has been denied, and justice can no longer be blind since she was denied her due.

There's a huge difference there and anyone feigning to not know the difference at this point is clearly simply "feigning".
