there is no possible way “100% democrats in the files” just goes without any pushback, so yeah either they’re totally unredacted and unaltered (likely, comes with its own set of problems) or the democrats absolutely will ratfuck the others.
personally I think the most likely outcome is that Trump’s name appears far fewer times than we expect (after they’ve, yanno, had their way with the files). Maybe a couple instances to satisfy the public that he was a skeezy fuck, but anything that implicates him in something serious will be changed to point to someone else’s name. Usually a Democrat, maybe sometimes the RINO of the week.
That would be the smartest way to alter the files. Leave everything else untouched, just make sure the golden boy old fuck isn’t smeared. Are they smart enough to do that? Who knows.

I know the GOP will take it in the ass for trump but even trumps most loyal sycophants turn on him when he throws them under the bus.
If trump scrubs everything clean of only himself the GOP will turn inwards. If he scrubs everyone but dems turn about is fair play.
Who knows the depth of what’s in those files but judging by the previous admin the only play is to keep them from the public. That, or wipe everything.
Anything else is pure chaos. Which, you know trump, pure chaos is the play.

The more they alter, the more chance it is they fuck it up somewhere.

the more they try to “deny” evidence even if its part of it, the more guilty they look, and maga isnt satisfied when things are redacted either.
