Trump had them sealed during his 1st term. They couldn't have been released by Biden.
What could have happened was that Trump could have had them released during that first term ..but he already knew what was in them and sealed them.

Dog kicked by Memphis Safe Task Force member on the mend as US Marshals defend action
The dog’s owner told Action News 5 that the deputy U.S. marshal seen punting her pup had no reason to do so, but officials with the U.S. Marshals Service say otherwise.

Grand juries have more common sense than the criminals in the WH and DOJ.
A grand jury in Washington has refused to indict Democratic lawmakers in connection with a video in which they urged U.S. military members to resist “illegal orders,” according to a person familiar with the matter. https://wtkr3.co/3ZQrlJz

These dudes think this is so clever.
Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime.
There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.

Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

8 months now, and he’s not wasting time. For him, this is a fight to the death; yours or his. We don’t have to kill him, we just have to stop him. Call your Senators and tell them to stop the SAVE 🇺🇸 Act, to preserve free and fair elections by letting states handle it, like we always did 202-224-3121
The time to avoid that entirely was November … and the four years leading to November. Now our task is to minimize those harms as we race to stop the collapse of our Constitutional government. He has only 20 months to complete his coup.
