      ?? Yes which Trump ended. Investigation was ongoing which meant info couldn’t be released, Trump ended it. What aren’t you getting?

        Well, assuming “They were sealed until Jan 2024” is true, then from that point forward they could have been released but weren’t.

          The investigation was still ongoing so they couldn’t have. There was thousands of people involved. It didn’t stop until Trump stopped it the other week.

            And why would “investigation is still ongoing” stop them from releasing it? My opinion: either a convenient excuse, or yet another self-own from the Democratic Party.

            They chose not to release it, despite being under no true obligation.

              It’s standard DOJ protocol to avoid compromising witnesses, active leads, or uncharged co-conspirators. Releasing unredacted files mid-investigation could tank prosecutions.
