OTOH, if he just fulfills his campaign promise, it will be in the headlines for a week (max), and done.

No, it won't.

He'll release the files, but there won't be a client list. There won't be any smoking guns. There won't be any documents showing all the Elites that were taking part in Epstein's crimes.

His base will come to the obvious conclusion - Donald Trump is in on it. He's hiding the truth. He's become One of Them. "They" got to him.

What - you thought they'd come to the conclusion that they were wrong about Epstein, or that their favorite conspiracy YouTuber or Dan Bognino was lying to them? That's not how conspiracists think. If there's evidence that contradicts the conspiracy, it just means the conspiracy runs even deeper than they thought.

Trump doesn't want to release the files because it won't silence the issue - it will just make him part of the conspiracy. What he wants is for people to stop talking about this until the midterms.
