2. But if the files were "cleaned up" why not just release them?

There must be info in the files that either cannot be cleaned up or that has been shared with others in the past (such as prosecutors) that cannot be erased. Otherwise it makes no sense for Republicans to continue to go to such extremes (like keeping the House out of session) and bear the bad PR for refusing to release them. It just does not add up.
