That's irrelevant. Our government is supposed to be transparent. Every citizen should be angry that we don't know what it was. But, the placated gonna keep on keepin' on.
No prosecutor anywhere in the US ever has any obligation to release confidential and private information that they may discover. They only have to pursue and eventually release the information if it is evidence of a crime. And even then they can ask a judge to withhold parts that are deemed minimally relevant to that crime and too personal. Discretion is part of the job.

I haven’t seen any speculation. Apparently it must be Schiffty stuff.
See what I did there?? *knee slap*
Doesn't work like that anymore. The narratives are fractured and the people have no unified sense of truth. Ask L2L.
Equivocation masked with an attack on another poster. Got it.

Wasn't meant as an attack, but OK.
L2L would say the narratives are fractured, and the elites did it. He means it as a simple matter of fact.
I would agree that many of them are fractured, but under that yes I blame people like L2L for it. It's a self fulfilling prophecy and folks like him are the prophets.

Who’s prosecuting?
The Jan 6 committee investigated as if they were a prosecution team.

Sounds like you made that up, but I’ll play along. Does that also give them prosecutorial powers and privileges?

Congressional committees have asserted the powers and privileges of prosecutors for at least a century. Exactly which powers they actually have in this area is a gray area of the US constitution.

The only gray area here is your half-baked assertion made in desperation to defend the shady actions of Democrats.

If you say so boss.
I remember taking civics and American history and asking the teacher why Congress was allowed to make Mark McGwire talk to them. The teacher didn't have a great answer then and I don't have a great answer now.
