I'll believe it when I see it. I don't expect anyone to ever be held accountable
- It was never about accountability. Just political kompromat.
  Powerful people are still going to abuse kids. Nobody is even suggesting that we do anything about that.
UNREDACTED
It's it's redacted, Trump is a child rapist by default.
- Trump and other Republicans will be redacted, they're on record saying this.
- The only exception are the victims’ names, there’s nothing to be gained from putting them in the spotlight, though I do have massive respect for those who have already spoken out on their own.
They say one thing BUT they do something else. I've seen this before.
This sounds too similar to “in two weeks…” promises.
Just as soon as those thousands of FBI agents are done redacting Trump's name from everything
Oh, they'll "release" it all right. But they'll narrow down the scope as much as possible to some combination of "things that have already been released", "things that can't be released" (ie, the grand jury records, which are pretty much never released and which require judicial approval), , and "new things the public hasn't seen yet but which are redacted to near total blackness".
Can't wait for absolutely nothing to come of it
They voted no on that just a few days ago.
Either it isn't going to happen or they will be so sanitized they will not be credible.

  GOP: we've released all 45 pages!
  
  LOL. Yeah, just like that.
Gonna have to see both hands while they say it so I know nobody's crossing fingers or doing subtle air quotes to pretend they aren't lying.
And they'll keep drawing it out and PEDOnald will keep up with the distracting atrocities...
MAGAts don't care if he molested children. They don't care if he is a rapist either. And no one in the gov is going to prosecute that orange cancer....
- Peed-on Pedonald
I doubt the orange pig will be named. trump would literally burn this whole country down rather than face the consequences of his actions.
- Bold to assume anyone on that list would face consequences.
And then he'll veto it and they'll be back in "let's move past this" mode with a side helping of plausible deniability.
Calling it.
The unredacted files will emerge.
Right as they actually do, Trump will step away from the presidency for "health concerns".
- That's not his MO. He'll either deny it as a fake news witch hunt or make it sound like it's completely normal behavior "That's just locker room rape."
- Lol Trump will never voluntarily step down. That's a pipe dream
Oh they admit they will do it? Cool pardon me for believing they're as likely to do what they say as a politician is to do what they say
Assuming Congress votes to release everything, wouldn't the president still need to sign it? It seems unlikely Congress could override a veto.
