16. It doesn't matter

The files aren't going to be released and Trumps actions look like a cover up. He can pardon himself if he really wants to, the entire damage is losing his political capital. Thats already happening because absent of the files, people are just assuming what's in them is bad.

Then again if they weren't, he'd have released them already.

speak for yourself Skittles Nov 12 #21
We are making the same point. Yes, she is gone, having exonerated him (to her knowledge) on her way out. AZJonnie Nov 12 #23

I want to address this part of your post Quiet Em Nov 12 #20
I get what you mean, but I was asked why *I* am so interested in the case near the top of the thread. AZJonnie Nov 12 #24
