Biden should have just fucking released them.
That’s not how it works, but I agree with the sentiment. We need the next non-demented-rapist president to unfuck so many things immediately.
I think it is blatantly obvious that 'how thinks work' is just whatever someone does when nobody stops them.
If Biden released them, what would have been the fallout? Literally no consequences and we would all be better off.
I just read that some of Epstein's victims who mistakenly had their names released unredacted in the files were suing Trump. Now that's a relatively minor fix, but it isn't as simple as just throwing the files on a public host.
Sure, it has to be done correctly, but when someone says 'Biden should have just released the files' and someone else says 'that's not how it works' they are not saying it doesn't work that way because of the need to redact a bunch of stuff.
That's not how what works? Are you implying that, as President, Biden was incapable of releasing the files himself?
Let's be honest, he was incapable of many things. Not just technically or logistically.
