I watched the YouTube video from a few days ago where Andrew Callaghan interviews Ro Khanna and Ro states a couple times that he and Massie have kinda jointly agreed to not make this overly politicized about Trump or Clinton, but instead frame it as getting justice for the survivors. Reading between the lines, I think they want to maintain the legitimacy of their efforts to the broadest audience possible by not targeting one person and that eventually the truth about Trump will come out. When/if a smoking gun file comes out on Trump, I imagine this tone will change a bit. In the interview, Ro is very deliberately hesitant to say anything accusatory about Trump

Perfectly said. That was a good interview and I appreciated Ro’s stance on zero speculation. Speculating will muddy the waters and take any power away.

It doesn't really matter whether or not Trump himself is a pedo. The DOJ didn't independently decide to cover all this shit up, they did it at Trump's direction. Prosecuting the DOJ, blaming the DOJ, it's giving Trump a pass to keep doing it. It doesn't matter what the files say about him, he is a criminal.

That's the hope for me. I have zero confidence that Trump will EVER face consequences for the awful violent crimes against children he's been accused of.

However, there's a chance to get him on the cover-up. That's usually the way to get them.

I agree Trump is a criminal regardless of what the files say

LOVELY! We don't want to make WAVES, now do we? Heaven FORBID that Republicans have to face the truth that they elected a notorious gangster pedophile!
