Amazingly, it was also the kind of thing he could’ve vaporwared away, just by (mostly) following policy. All he had to do was claim (from the beginning) that there are ongoing investigations, agency policy is to not release info about those investigations, and then lie that there are going to be arrests really soon.
He wouldn’t even have to lie! If he were smart, he’d have his corrupt FBI diligently investigate any Democrats in the files and nail them to the wall, probably on technically unrelated charges so as to avoid having to submit the files to the court
