5. The point is to obfuscate.

By having all Democrats in the files, the Republicans will proclaim victory. When the Democrats call the files openly fake, which they will be, Trump will say the Democrats are only trying to protect their own, and, will say, “Why are you trying to protect pedophiles!?” With a smirk on his face.

Then, both sides argue about which files are real, and; it becomes another Left vs. Right bickering match. The public loses interest, and, the whole thing goes away.

We’re in the dumbest timeline possible.
