You think releasing tens of thousands of pages of speculation, observation, flight logs, correspondence, videos, audio recordings and the other things will make this go away?

No - which is the point.

The portion of the MAGA base that Trump is rightfully concerned about won't be satisfied with shadows and hints. They've already got plenty of those - there's already tens of thousands of pages that have been released. This isn't some secret matter that's never been shown to anyone. Ghislaine Maxwell went to trial, and the government created a massive evidentiary record in that case - which has almost all been released already.

What MAGA is convinced of is that there's actually a smoking gun. There has to be. It can't possibly be true that there's nothing that really points to actual criminal behaviors. That there hasn't been a cover-up.

They are all expecting that there's something significant and important that hasn't already been made public. it's an incredibly important part of their political motivation. Not that there's some stuff out there that supports speculation - that there's actionable evidence that reasonable government officials would prosecute specific people one, but that the actual government isn't prosecuting because they were themselves coopted by the Corrupt Elite.

And that's what Trump can't deliver. It isn't true that the government has corruptly declined to prosecute provable pedophiles. That they've concealed conclusive evidence of their wrongdoing. But that's what this slice of his base genuinely believes. It's a big part of the reason they hate the Corrupt Elite so much, and a big part of why they thought Trump would be able to take down the Corrupt Elite.
