Let’s assume that’s what they were after. What’s the purpose and what’s the fear and what’s the end game? If they are classified documents Trump couldn’t leak them. If they were declassified by Trump (which I think is part of his argument) why haven’t they been released. Even if they were contested, the cat would be out of the bag? Is he waiting for an October surprise to spring these documents? Whats the end game, for the DOJ to bury documents that have already left the building, so to speak?
I am open to all sorts of theories here, but it seems to me the actual documents in question are less relevant than just the prosecution. That photo they show in news stories is really just a handful of thin folders and a few pages. Not reams and reams of documents. Maybe there is more than shown in the photo. But showing that photo with maybe 6 or 8 folders marked classified is the proverbial “perp walk”. See, he has these classified folders! Nevermind that just looking at the photos they appear nearly empty and a handful of papers, back sides only, stresno about.
“If they were declassified by Trump (which I think is part of his argument) why haven’t they been released.”
The deep state is still fully in the driver’s seat - including Biden’s executive branch, the courts, and the fake news press. Even the Republican led House is unwilling to investigate.
Releasing the truth now would fall on deaf ears as it has for the last 8 years.
There’s no guarantee the good guys will get a fair hearing in the future, but I can guarantee they wouldn’t get one now. The best case scenario is that President Trump gets back in the White House and creates a safe haven for whistleblowers. It’s a long shot, but the only shot is to bide his time and keep his powder dry.
If he releases the proof now, and the whistleblowers come forward now, the media will simply not cover it, and the courts - instead of letting the whistleblowers testify - they will prosecute them for various made-up crimes just like they are doing now.
