Remember how Republicans immediately called for the release last time?
It is great that they proactively released everything. Doing so means that they took extra care knowing that there would be public scrutiny. It also gives **** every fair opportunity to prepare.
So, effectively, as a result of the DOJs thorough work, theres little left for Republicans to complain about other than conspiracy tales.

is following the path the law lays down. Full 🛑
If the evidence is rock solid
then the law in its majesty does not need politics
the incessant chattering of media and pundits is not heard, the twitters and tweets, blind to.
The same rock solid evidence embedded in granite facts
will brush aside even the most biased.
Believe that and you can believe in the rule of law.
