    This was brought up way back when. The issue with leaks is there’s no way to verify them, and we don’t want fake leaks. That would discredit any real release.

    If you have a bunch of leaks mentioning people who couldn’t possibly have been involved, it brings into question the validity of any other names mentioned.

    Unfortunately, the problem now is that so much time has passed, that the originals have all been tampered with.

      Yes, it was brought up way back when. They gave a stupid bullshit reason way back then, as is their wont, today they continue to give stupid bullshit reasons; in the future, they will provide, you guessed it, more stupid bullshit reasons.

      You know a good way to verify them?

      Leak it. Then, you can check the leak vs. the files when they are eventually leaked. VIOLA

      In fact, it’s the ONLY way to verify them; the verification is provided by the public’s investigation, NOT by the FBIs interpretation while sitting on the files. We’ve proven the government lies, always, countless times.

      And recall, the files were old when Biden had them, no need to sit on them longer.

        I’m just here for the loud exclamation of Viola (the string instrument), not voilà (global conspiracies eating away at us every day). Thank you for the laugh 😄
