    Yeah, my guess is either they found a different way to never release anything, or they’ll pass some random junk as the files in question. That’s the reason Johnson suddenly changed his mind on allowing the House to do their job, and why Republicans voted yes on the bill.

      I did hear an NPR interview with Ro Khanna (member of Congress representing California 17, discharge petition signatory) today, where whether he had concerns about the authenticity of the files to be released, and he did say that he did. When asked further how he could be sure that the files so released are complete and accurate, he said that it would be dumb to attempt a cover-up or incomplete release, because many of the victims’ lawyers have already seen the files and thus would know if the released files are incomplete, inaccurate, or inauthentic.

      That being said, I do not expect Trump and his crack(pot) team of advisers to have the metal acuity to judge the probability of a successful cover-up correctly.
