alt Hacker NewsThe distraction is not releasing them. If there was enough shit in the files for a conviction, the previous administration would have prosecuted. They were sealed from the public not from the DOJ.
The reality is that there's no shortage of dirt in them (that likely doesn't pile up to guilt beyond a reasonable doubt), but his base doesn't care, and will never care.

There's likely enough for more convictions, but two things:
1) Maxwell was under prosecution at the time, so some of it was related to that.
2) The kind of people being mentioned as potential indictees are the kind who can do something about it.

not so fast. There is new info coming out about Kerry being implicated.
secret third option: the dirt is still effective as blackmail and thats more valuable to powers that be than prosecution. the fbi acquired all the videos on disc from a safe in wexlers 5th ave mansion, yet no one was arrested for sex crimes, weird!
It's possible releasing the files would have negative consequences on both the current and previous administration, which is why neither of them did it.
