In an interview posted by Forbes Breaking News, Rep. Steve Cohen says he believes officials went through the files with a "fine tooth comb," redacted a lot and decided what not to release.

I think more than half of what was in the F -Team files has not been released. And they went through it with a fine tooth comb and redacted a lot and decided what not to release. And why did they decide not to release it? I think it's pretty obvious. You don't have to be Dick Tracy to figure this one out. Just so we're clear you're saying because of President Trump, is that what you're saying? I'm saying the public can read it see it. It's obvious. I don't have to read obvious to people. It's clear as it can be to people when you put the facts together you see what they did what hasn't been released the allegations have been made the American public knows what's going on. They're not fools.
