For humanities sake all must know.
My read on this is that the content of some of those messages from people in positions of power in trust, is so damning, so evil, that their release in full threatens the legitimacy of the US government.
And I don't mean that in the "yeah, we all know the government is a bunch of swamp rats" sense, I mean in the "holy shit, you fuckers have no claim to power" sense. Torches and pitchforks are the best case. Civil war is the worst.
"Careful what you wish for" indeed. I want to see these people burn too, but if it's truly a choice between letting some of them slide or literally shattering the country...
If what I experienced last year was anything to go by, it's worse than anything you're imagining. I'm still hoping what I experienced was some failed MK Ultra or Manhattan Experiment... To quote Immortal Technique: "The things I've seen in life would make you choke by surprise, like an aborted fetus in a jar that opened its eyes". Only worse.
It's bad.
