    They probably will never be released. Because rich powerful people protect other rich powerful people. Same reason why all the Democrats never released them either, and also covered up for Joe Biden being mentally incompetent for 4 years. other things to worry about, like running the country. I know its nothing the previous administration cared about, but this one does.

    It allows the DOJ/FBI time to properly redact the information so that there’s no careless document or identity leaking that hurts the victims. A legitimate concern considering recent history.

    Members of all political parties want this information released. It’s a bit of political theater to accuse Republicans of not wanting it released.

    What? They do an August recess every year. That’s how the House works. It’s a reasonable opinion to think they shouldn’t have the recess at all, but this isn’t some new invention in 2025.
