In his corrupted mind, that computer was perhaps leverage and protection - useful in the future.
Just like portrayed in the final scenes in the movie Clear and Present Danger: “I know what you are going to do now Jack with that information, you have a chip in the game”.
Washington was right about the danger from the political parties. Note, Trump is a complete outsider, he is a threat to them all. Worse, he is a patriot who puts the US good above all else which is directly against the ideals of the loathsome senior political class.
That also reminds me of the last two lines of Three Days of the Condor . . .
“They’ll print it.”
“How do you know?”
