Coverage of the SOTU will normalize all of this

shit. Anyone with common sense, any network that doesn't want to play a role in ushering in a dictatorship should boycott this.

Democrats should release EVERYTHING now, who cares if the GOP says no?

So, it can't be released now because the conditions and procedures to release it haven't been followed.
