Then it would be pretty simple for them to just say "it's a manifesto but we are not going to release it and promote copy cat crimes and to respect the victims". They are not doing that at all are they?
This is exactly what I have been saying from the get go. We must demand these investigators stop working in the shadows. This secrecy is not being done to protect the people it being done to protect the political narrative. Remember, THEY WORK FOR US and we do not have to accept "it's an ongoing investigation" as an answer. Unless giving certain information puts someones life directly in danger we the people must INSIST they answer our questions and work with complete transparency.
No I tend to agree. Recent history has shown that they are various agencies are most certainly not operating above political objectives, and are perfectly happy to stifle some info and quickly release others depending on how it fits those objectives.
This cynacism was exemplified by a joke I heard 24 hours after the event when they released a statement saying they didn’t believe he had any ties to ISIS and someone just had to ask, how could they still not have a conclusive statement whether or not there was election campaign collusion with Russia after almost a year of investigating but they can deny this guy had any outside contacts, influence, or radicalization after 24 hours??? It’s all about what message you want out there.
I’m just saying... there is at least one reason they might not release it. I’m not saying I believe it’s the reason. Just a potentiality.
“There is a perfectly good reason not to release”
Another reason might be that the not gives names which shouldn’t be revealed to the public until those individuals have been chased down and investigated.
Police investigations are always conducted with as much secrecy as possible. You never want to alert perps and/or accomplices that you are onto them, until you have gathered enough evidence to secure an indictment + conviction.
