Releasing any version (even a doctored one) is the checkmate move. Trump is basically being boxed in (like the rat he is) where he’s going to feel compelled to release something, but I’d bet everything I own someone, groups, whatever all ready have the “real” file.
Allegedly, dude had FBI agents combing the shyt on Sharepoint



. Untold people already downloaded that thing, stashed it somewhere, or had a copy of it prior to this. If Trump releases something and then WSJ or NYT goes, well actually, here’s the real file (since you released it) and Trump is all up in that shyt trafficking and sexually assaulting children, it’s the end of him.
This country is a lot of things, but there’s very few things it loathes more than child predators. You can literally make a substantial living setting them up on to go on “dates” with children (at least they think they’re going to meet a kid) and beating their ass for the whole world to see (YouTube).
I actually think Trump might be smart enough to know if he releases the files it’s over, which is why he’s trying to just ignore and distract from the situation. His goofy ass is being squeezed to death like a boa constrictor, though.
