If there was ACTUAL evidence incriminating only one sides' major dems/rep people, absolutely both would use it to destroy the other side. But only the dems ignored it, but reps said lets release the files.
As with JFK, it is entirely plausible that this was less of a deal then the rumours/theories/speculation has made it into. So now that everyone's hyped up about it, if the truth was really less sensational then that, we would get what we have now with people not believing the truth.
or, plausably, both sides are vulnerable extreme blackmail/assassination from a 3rd party that controls them.
Given how EASY it would have been for trump to say "we are still looking into it" or something to that effect to appease both voters, and a 3rd party cabal, it makes no sense to say what he said unless it was the truth, or the cabal for some inexplicable reason forced him too.
and given that the media is trying to drive the narrative that trumps in on it, while ignoring all the dem people involved, this comes off as just a convenient thing to try to pin on trump since nothing can be proved or will be proved, its the perfect smear campaign for them.
