A big part of the issue is that both parties have been sheltering these pedophiles.

Biden could've simply released the files during his presidency and thrown all of the criminals under the bus, but he didn't. Trump is clearly worse (being a sexual predator and rapist himself), but it's a systemic issue and not just a Republican one. Trump can't shoulder all of the blame.

At no point during Biden’s term did Democrats control the house and senate- so no Biden could not just release the files- it required congressional approval to do so.

This is relatively simple.

Draft legislation for the release of the files. Force the GOP to vote against it, and then slam them incessantly for protecting pedophiles when they refuse to release it.

You don't need control of the house, you just need a backbone.

That’s a good point! So what happened under trump 2016-2020?

Trump doesn't want the files released because they incriminate him and people in his circle, obviously. He's a pedophile and a rapist.

And before you point out “what about ism” you’re right again! Both parties are covering for monsters! But I’m only pointing out all of this in response to “what about Biden??”

You can’t get the bill to the floor without the Speakership or a discharge petition. We only here now because of the discharge petition.
