    Trump doesn’t have to approve jack shit. The vote to release the Kraken was 427-1 in the House and the Senate is promising a unanimous vote. You cannot get more veto proof than that.

    If Trump had the means to edit this shit, how the hell did he fail with last week’s release? Nah, for Trump the night is dark and full of terrors.

        Nah, nothing like this. The entire GOP has turned on him. This shit is so bad Trump even had to preempt them. “Go for it! Release the files!”

        We haven’t seen this!

      He has to sign it / veto it except if there is a “supermajority” in both the chambers IIRC.

      The Kraken? Ha ha I checked it out and ofc it was a qanon conspiracy bullshit lol. But you are right, Trump can’t do anything if there is a supermajority

      Now, if he wanted to release the pero-files he could just order it, why has he been trying to not get them released? He has his reasons, and he can try to stall again ofc / convince people to not vote in the senate etc etc.

      But you’re right, he can be forced.

      Didn’t they have the FBI working round the clock to find references to Trump in the files? No doubt they were also burning or at least heavily redacting those files
