    I’m sure that Biden could do something really funny and just… declassify those documents.

      I swear both of them have already promised and/or done this.

      Edit: Yes. Biden declassified 99% just last year. (Another thing Donnie promised, that Joe actually did. Infrastructure week!) I’m sure the final 1% will finally prove every conspiracy true… /s

        I mean…

        Trump ultimately released tens of thousands of documents, the majority of which include at least some redactions.

        By December 2022, Biden had released more than 14,000 additional

        1% of 24,000 documents would be 240 documents. Considering they get to pick and choose which documents to keep hidden, yes it is actually very possible that they release the non-incriminating files, but keep the documents that prove conspiracy.

        Example: there are 100 cookies in a pack being saved. You take out every cookie and only eat 1. Someone asks if you ate a cookie so you go through 99 of the slots saying you didn’t eat this cookie.

        If you never get to the cookie slot you took before they give up on asking you, it doesn’t matter that 99% of cookies are accounted for thanks to your information, you still ate the cookie.

        Edit: quoted portion I was responding to specifically.

      I imagine experts probably advise against it because there are far reaching implications that could cause significant diplomatic or intelligence issues, domestically and internationally and that Donald “Here’s Where Our Spy Satellites Are” Trump doesn’t give a fuck.

        Pretty sure he’s already proved that. He’s already given information on our spies to Russia, which resulted in them getting killed.
