Rubén Gallego: “the reason we are here, the reason why there is a request of this nature is because there is one and only one…”

“the reason we are here, the reason why there is a request of this nature is because there is one and only one administration and one campaign that ran more than 8 years that vilified-- vilified--DOJ employees that were consistently trying to do their best job and started a conspiracy theory that has affected hundreds of people across this country, a conspiracy theory that caused people to start doing shootings at pizza places, that accused other people and other politicians of being pedophiles and then said and campaigned that ``If you elect me, I will release the files.'' That was only one campaign, and that was the Trump campaign. So now, as he is in power, as he has gotten power, he has specifically said he would release it in campaign. He had an Attorney General that said: I have the files on my desk right now, and I will be releasing it. As soon as we heard--first from Elon Musk--that Trump himself was in the files, all of a sudden, we started seeing the coverup starting. First he wasn't. Then he was. Then it was created by somebody else. Then it is coming after him. This is all because the President has to answer to the American public. Did you lie for those 8 years and put all these employees, all these innocent people at risk to cover up for your elite friends? Or is there something in the file you are trying to hide to protect your friends?”
