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.
replyThe previous administration didn't need to release any files to selectively prosecute anyone who they wanted to.
replyThere's likely enough for more convictions, but two things:
reply1) 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.
Co-conspirators are prosecuted in parallel or semi-parallel all the time, without waiting for the core prosecution to conclude.
replyThere was no reason for why the administration had to wait for the files to be unsealed to go after anyone it wanted to. Unsealing them only makes the records available to the public at large, not the rest of the DOJ.
> If there was enough shit in the files for a conviction, the previous administration would have prosecuted.
replynot 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!
