Take a look at Congress’ long-shot attempt to force the release of the government’s records, led by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. A seemingly innocuous word appears in the resolution: “unclassified.”

It is an official word that in theory only exists when it comes to national security matters; that is, that the release of such information could cause “harm” to the national security. (There is, of course, a small chance that some FBI methods relating to intelligence collection might officially qualify as “classified” because the release might expose certain capabilities of the government, but even there, I’d argue that the public has a right to know.)
And yet somehow the word made its way into the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Trump changed his tune pretty quickly and seems to support releasing the files now, which scares me because I can only assume that means they were thoroughly scrubbed.
He requested another investigation at the same time, so they’ll unfortunately have to be held back due to being part of an ongoing investigation.
Not necessarily a closed session allows classified and investigatory releases. So congress could see it they just wouldn’t be able to say much outright they’d have to infer and couch.
I’m talking about what will actually happen, not what’s supposed to happen.
Yeah, that won’t work is what I’m saying.
Just another tier of the stalling tactics.
Correct.
They already admitted to censoring mentions of Trump like months ago even they pretended to release more and pissed off all those influencers.
