49. Never happen as long as Dump is in office
Tue Nov 18, 2025, 05:31 PM
Yesterday

I don't believe that the files will be released as long as Dump is in office, if ever. All they have to do is to start an investigation of one of the other actors in those files, or at least say that they are. They can then state that the files can't be released because of an ongoing investigation involving another person/persons in the case. Voila!! Problem gone. Dump is being just tooooo nonchalant about the whole issue at this point for me to feel like he is even mildly concerned about the situation..
