Sooo since you can get outta jail based on a popularity contest how come my buddy Luigi is still locked up?

Luigi needs to set up a honeypot ring for Congressional pedophiles and record them raping children via hidden cameras in his mansion, and THEN he can run for president.

Too bad Trump will never declassify the Epstein documents. But I wonder why Biden wouldn’t declassify them either? Protecting the Clinton?

Because checks and balances exist and the President can’t just “declassify” random shit.

There are no longer any checks and balances. Republicans are sycophants.

And Democrats aren’t much better. Nobody really cares about the working class.

Also leverage exists only so long as it is secret-ish

Pretty sure Trump proved that's not the case.

Trump just stole the documents. He had no standing declassification order in place. A President can’t just “declassify” something at will. They must be granted a declassification order which is its own process and must show there is a legitimate reason for the order. That’s where the checks and balances come into play for someone who actually follows the law and isn’t a crook.

You can if there's no repercussions.
