It may be all those things, but it doesn’t change that it is whataboutism. I’m not here defending anybody. They should have built a case and prosecuted it when they had the chance. In fact, even though typically straight up releasing files like this while there is pending prosecution is a huge mistake, I still think they should have been released.

But only one group campaigned on this to this extent, then did a complete about-face to cover it up.

And I’m sorry for using harsh language; I thought that was allowed around here.
