Then why are Republicans fighting to keep the files unreleased?

Personally. I think they're baiting the left. Making them beg for the release. Not gonna help their cause.

I think the primary problem is the people demanding said “release.” They don’t know what’s actually already been released, or that file information even has been released, and IMO nor do they really even want to. Thus, they don’t really know what they’re even demanding, and again, IMO nor do they really even care to be fully aware.

Once more, IMO, they’re fostering a moving goalposts situation because in the end they’re not truly concerned with or interested in any actual substance of the matter, but rather simply only want it to be a serious problem and distraction for Trump. Which when you think about it, how stupid is that because a negatively affected President perhaps means a negatively affected them.

It's entirely possible some people really are wanting to do a very careful review of the information to make sure they aren't outing someone who truly did nothing illicit.

It's also possible they are chasing leads to potentially bring charges to people that did do something criminal and don't want to disturb ongoing investigations.

Just throwing out some reasonable reasons to counter the unreasonable ones being tossed around.

Very well thought out and very well said. Which likely means it will be rejected by less reasonable and rational people. Another possibility is what I mentioned immediately below you, albeit in a slightly less friendly manner. Not typically my preferred style, but I’m a mere mortal and falter from time to time.

You're not wrong. Much like the ceasefire in Gaza, it's all just a facade to hinder Trump. I would wager even the enlightened folks on the PT making it the only issue, haven't read a single source doc released to date. It's just a fun rallying cry until it goes stale and they have to pick up the next cause they care so deeply about.
