You're way overthinking it. Trump and his buddies are on the list. That's the entire reason they're trying to squash it.

- johng 1y agoSo the Biden admin had this the whole time but didn't release it. They tried everything under the sun to hurt Trump but they wouldn't release this... that makes zero sense.
- ElevenLathe 1y agoUnless, as is widely and reasonably suspected, Democratic politicians and donors are also implicated. Another, largely similar, possibility is that this really is an intelligence-led blackmail operation and now lots of people in positions of power (including the Trumps and Bidens) are in the control of whichever spies have the tapes and photographs.

- taylodl 1y agoBiden didn't make it a centerpiece of his campaign to reveal the list. The Biden administration was apparently only interested in prosecution, not stirring up political dirt. Trump vowed to publish the list and is now complaining there's no list at all, after saying they had the list.
- orwin 1y agoTo be clear, the Biden admin wanted to stop republicains, and republican judges especially from being afraid of retaliation or any politicization of the DoJ (politics in its narrow meaning of party politics), to go back to the status quo under Bush/Obama. I'm not from the US so take everything with a grain of salt, but it was dumb of them. Executive federal power in the US practically neutered the legislative power, and it seems Trump admin want to do the same to judges. It happened before in history, even more recently, in both turkey and Israel.
- Trasmatta 1y agoI'm totally open to the idea that both sides are implicated by this list.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoYep. Alan Dershowitz and Bill Gates are probably in there too. We must get past the idea that team red or team blue is "the better" party, because they're not because it's the ultra rich vs. everyone else. There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties. - Gore Vidal
- cosmicgadget 1y agoSorry how is Trump not releasing the list Biden's fault again?
