Which doesn't contradict what I said.
"It’s not like anyone associated with the government would ever lie to the public or anything."
Yet not everyone associated with the government lies all the time either. The fact is, if there were a big secret remaining in these files the very people who have read them would say there was and want them to get out, or say there isn't and want them to be hidden. But what they are saying is that there isn't one, and they want them to be released.
It's irrational to assume that everything is a plot. Some things are what they are.

No, but the only way to really know they aren’t lying in a situation like this is if we can independently verify what they are saying. Sorry, but when it comes to politicians and used car salesmen, the words “trust me” just don’t carry any weight at all.
