Documents released by the Justice Department briefly mention a woman’s unverified accusation that Donald J. Trump assaulted her in the 1980s, when she was a minor. But several memos related to her account are not in the files.

NPR also showed that a lot of pages are missing

    stop covering for them

    Telling someone to look at the dates in the context of what was happening at the time is in no way covering for anyone. When these files were created, and for a year and a half past that date, Trump was president.

    You’re both assuming those files outlasted the first term and made it into Biden’s presidency, as well as into the open and ongoing investigations that were happening at that time. I’ve been through the files at length, and while I’m no expert there is a lot from the open investigations that made it across into related docs: this set never did. Nor did Trump suddenly just become guilty both in deed and in association, nor corrupt, in his second term.

    Dems are guilty of a great many things, but neither of you have presented ANYTHING but accusations, not just at Biden but at me for saying look at the dates, read the articles, think about what was happening at the time.

    If saying that destroys my credibility, if that makes me a liar in your eyes, I’m glad, because you and I are by nature oil and water: I have a great love of fact and contempt for mere accusation. You’ve handed me a brief op-ed with insults attached, and I am not impressed. It’s past time you block me, and I will be doing the same.

      We all know that’s bullshit, on this and everything else, democrats always plead powerless to upset the rich. As if. Powerless to play realpolitik, powerless to use the bully pulpit, to call out rich people cheating us, to lead the party into investigating and going after villains for other things they’ve done, powerless even to let the public know they are foreign intelligence agents compromising our politicians and that the information is in the public domain. Powerless to fix the post office. Powerless to undo tax cuts, to save social programs, to do any project without 4 years of set up first.

      Just give it a rest, they were chosen because they are weak, and won’t upset the super rich that control them. We all know it, lying about it won’t help. The only thing that will help now is strong aggressive popular reform minded leadership, and the establishment won’t provide that no matter what. Their mission is crushing that, not winning against republicans or undoing their actions.

        Again, an op-ed with nothing factual in it.

        We all know that’s bullshit,

        We? WE don’t know anything of the sort. What those of us with an education know is the difference between fact and editorial. Try again.

        Just give it a rest

        While you’re busy screeching SKREEE ME ANGRY!!1!!1!!! YOU NEED TO BLAME WHO I BLAME!!!1!!!1! I’m still over here in the look at the dates, read the articles crowd. I’m not really into the whole fake-rage trust me bro propaganda thing you’re offering.

      Are you saying Trump took the files away and brought them back with him in his second term? Why would his admin bring them back at all?

      Even if this insane world you’re pitching is true, that makes Biden’s lack of investigation even more egregious since it should be obvious if this key evidence was missing.

      Even funnier that you’re claiming to only care about facts when you’re the one spinning some wild accusations to go out of your way to clear Biden’s DOJ of basic responsibility.

        They didn’t bring back any files. They’re still missing. What was recently found were references to the missing files.

        If you’d read the articles you’d know that.

        But you’re just shouting.
