Trump's 'Release the Files' Ploy Is [View all]

exactly that.. a bullshit ploy (imo).

Especially seeing as how TRUMP HIMSELF can order the files released immediately, without Congress as pointed out on today's World News Tonight broadcast (ABC).

Besides, he does everything ELSE without Congress, so why now?

My theory is, he's (for whatever reasons unknown) become convinced he'll NEVER be presented with such a bill to sign.

And if (by some stretch) he is, and vetoes it, they'll never override it.

But for now, he can at least pretend to be in support of it.
