i think it's pretty safe to assume that anything any of them says is a fucking outright lie

I think they've only released the least damaging actual "documents/files"
They are holding the ones that outright depict powerful men and women abusing their power. (Yes even sexually.) and also holding things like videos and auto "files" 14 terabytes of data isn't just emails and forms. There's probably evidence in there so damaging Trump and anyone else involved would be shot on the Whitehouse steps if any rational person knew the truth.
Imagine how much fucked up stuff they have on the elites if this is what they choose to release. The calm before the storm, I hope.
She was hired to lie by a liar, felon and pedophile, (yeah, type "liar, felon and pedophile" into your search engine of choice except, of course, Google). Type "a liar, felon and pedophile walk int a bar", too.
lol, switched from DDG -> worked, to Bing -> worked, to Google - > No results, to Perplexity -> that sounds like the start of an edgy joke, want me to help you keep it clean.
We all know that members of congress are in there so we’re going to need them all
Throw her and Patel in contempt of congress until they’re ready to comply
So what's the possibility that they can delete all the files so that the next administration doesn't have them? Is it possible at all?
It's possible, but not probable since I'm sure someone made a backup for that reason alone.
She probably has released all files she could without destroying the orange turd.
The race to the bottom will not abate until the real issue is addressed,"wealth privilege".
Wealth privilege won’t end until legal disprivilege ends. You need a legal system that isn’t susceptible to discrimination based on wealth, race, or any other factor. Especially not any other factor, because wealth transfers to whatever incentives it’s needed to take form in. It should be incentivized by cultural virtues, ensuring the government heeds the public’s beliefs on right and wrong doing.
A coop-based executive branch might be worth your consideration. But, that sounds like a state-tolerated militia (in a way). Perhaps, more precisely, it should be a coop-based executive-executor branch. Effectively, a group of people motivated by civil virtues who spend time investigating and prosecuting actors in the government’s executive branch for the crime of discrimination, bias, bigotry, … can this be a path forward?
Again, it would need be a coop. It must have the interest of the public, in contrast to the interest of the government, in mind. You will and should expect to see stories about them causing trouble for the government—the government shouldn’t like them. But the government should somehow be forced to tolerate them, even work with them in cases where the government would likely wish not to.
They have released alllllll the files...that they can get away with releasing.
If we release every single thing then the world see just how depraved the obese orange paedo really is.
A lot of the data is composed of child abuse videos though, not evidence the videos existed, the videos themselves, so in that regard I do expect and hope they're never publicly released.
But yes, of course, everything else was withheld or censored just to protect the abusers, and those do need to come out, we just don't know the exact ratio or numbers as being shared by this article.
If the elites are in these videos they need to be released. People need to see these people doing the crimes to fully wake up no matter how horrible that is. It’s the only way the victims will have a chance of justice sadly.
You're defending the release and that "people need to see" videos of children being raped? Are you clinically insane? No, nobody needs to see anything, and the victim's suffering aren't a stage for your vengeance.
The fact they're confirmed to exist, audited by closed door experts and trialed through a legal system is all that would suffice in a working society. Now, is the US a good example of a functional country? No, not at all, but "releasing the videos" does nothing.
Again, we already know they're pedophiles, releasing the names is enough, you don't need to watch the actual videos. If people aren't revolting now, it's not from a lack of explicit CSAM recordings.
It's bizarre I even have to explain this.
Most of the people on this platform don't, but given the continued inaction, lack of accountability, and even defense of those accused, it seems we need something to shock the system. The current level of moral outrage is not high enough or universal enough to break past the walls of power.

And your proposed solution is releasing terabytes of child rape online for the masses?
Please, never become a candidate for any position where you have any decision making responsibility whatsoever, in your life.
You don't have to show the CSAM. You can block that out and release the perpetrators faces.
Agreed. But considering how that was my point from the very start, I'm unsure what you'd expect me to reply to that.
Your original comment said you hope they never get released. I am saying redact the CSAM and release them. If that's what you meant originally, then it's certainly not clear.
Your original comment said you hope they never get released.
In direct reference to "terabytes of child abuse videos" yes, I hope they never get released. This is different than "show the faces and names of the criminals". Not sure how one could struggle with such a simple sentence.
Nothing else seems to be able to pierce the MAGA bubble. This is obviously the psychological nuclear option. It’s not a good option. Do you have any proposals on what else might work to get through?
We run into a lot of trust problems that are not going to be solved here. There are likely hundreds of people Jeffrey and Ghislaine didn't write down but know are on video. And it's the CIA and Mossad blackmailing world leaders. I can't even think of a country to attempt the investigation
didn't write down but know are on video
Investigators need to see them, not you. And even if you did, the fuck are you going to do about it? And if you're going to do something, why are you waiting for child abuse videos instead of doing it now?
I am a different person. For the record, I don't condone making the uncensored videos public either.
Investigators need to see them
The ones at the DOJ, which is led by a corrupt loyalist?
The ones at the FBI, which is led by a different corrupt loyalist?
The public doesn't need to see them, but investigators won't do shit if/when they see them.
The ones at the DOJ, which is led by a corrupt loyalist?The ones at the FBI, which is led by a different corrupt loyalist?
That part is the part I agree is the real issue that must be urgently addressed, yes. The release of the raw videos is not and will never be the path. We don't disagree here.
You misunderstand. The current investors can't be trusted and this conspiracy is so far reaching it's hard to think of anyone who could. That's the root issue and I don't have a solution.
Pretty sure we’ve heard her make this claim before.
