The power of blackmail, the original purpose of the files, goes out the window if they’re released. It’s not just Trump trying to save his own skin. If all that blackmail is mass dumped the curators of that blackmail won’t have anything left to pull strings with. They can’t have that because their global power structure will collapse and they need that flow of cash, power and weapons right now more than ever. They can’t just give up multiple decades of blackmail because some American plebs are angry. They’ll sacrifice Trump at the chopping block to appease the public when they’re good and ready. Until then we can all pretty much accept it’s not happening.
