In other words, Trump deployed the same tools he deploys every day.

He 'turned to' doing the exact same shit he's been doing his whole life?

That is hilarious, why is a Trump losing his mind over this then?

You Lib.. Biden could have released the files!

This means he's mentioned so often in the files, that it's impossible to edit all of it out.

Everyone trying to get blood out of a turnip. The Biden admin. would have released anything they had to stop Trump. So that tells me no smoking gun.

The Supreme Court barred Biden from releasing those files

i can't find any information supporting what you wrote. Are you sure about that?

The grand jury info was sealed by a federal court, but nothing about the Supreme Court. The big missing public info would be the state files that the DOJ has from 2007ish. The federal prosecutions of both of them were unsealed almost fully AFAIK.

I think they might be misinformed, or just trusted comments without sources.
