Not only could they exonerate themselves, they could vilify political opponents. Even if an accurate copy surfaced they would just say, “Nuh uh!” and MAGA would believe them.

This seems like a no-brainer. What am I missing here?!

      Most of the “files” they are hiding are CSAM fwiw. Most of the rest was released with redactions

      There is no “client list” as far as we know. But there are the flight logs, Epstein’s addressbook and recovered text messages etc. Those were released heaviky redacted.

      They did that, too. They released redacted flight logs and documents that were heavily edited, but it was impossible to remove all references to Trump and various oligarchs they’d like to protect, so they stopped.
