I suspect they hesitate to meddle with the contents because if they do, it could come back to really bite them hard. Covering up after the fact is a crime after all.

They’ve lost the MAGA base which is now fractured with many well-known voices, Nick Fuentes, Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and especially Alex Jones are out there calling b.s. on Trump tearing the illusion Trump built for his cult apart.

So far, it sounds like Charlie Kirk is buying this scam.

And it is a scam.

47 ordered Bondi to make a futile effort to get grand jury testimony released.

She will file a motion to release grand jury testimony which will be denied because none of the exceptions to the secrecy of grand jury testimony are present here.

Furthermore, the testimony before a grand jury to get a indictments on a specific set of charges is limited in scope. Even if it were released, it would provide very little insight into the mountains of evidence uncovered in the course of the investigation.

They are gambling that they can shift "blame" to the courts: "We asked the court to release everything (ignoring the actual limited scope), it is the corrupt court that is keeping it all secret."

She will release nothing.

This is a scam. Pure and simple.

Like three card monte. Only showing what they want, always deceiving and deflecting to make it seem like they are being open, when in fact they are the opposite.

Oh btw, your wallet is now missing.
