    The Files are important for a number of reasons:

    • this is about the president being a multiple accused pedophile
    • it show the people are not backing down no matter what other rabbits he pulls out if his hat
    • there is rare consensus across party lines that this issue matters, so it is potentially unifying the citizens of the US
    • the files are bigger than just him, it implicates a lot of powerful people
    • I agree he would be doing these things whether there were files or not, but it is our responsibility to nail him to the cross for a single issue that is so damning it would collapse his support with his own base and party and encourage whistleblowers to cone forward and expose the extent of his corruption

    I don’t think we need to stop talking about his endless firehouse of flooding the zone, but we need to keep our focus on the one thing that can bring him down and by now the longest standing scandal around his neck he hasn’t yet been able to shake.
