Not only could they exonerate themselves, they could vilify political opponents. Even if an accurate copy surfaced they would just say, “Nuh uh!” and MAGA would believe them.
This seems like a no-brainer. What am I missing here?!

Something I didn’t see mentioned: say you make a fake list, redacting the people you want to protect. What about the people you are now throwing under the bus? First your fake evidence has to make it past all of their lawyers scrutiny and hope you’re not revealed for your con, and then you have to hope that these people don’t have evidence that they can use to throw you under the bus as well. Releasing anyones name is likely to cause many more names to come out and the domino effect is way too unpredictable. It’s truly some mutually assured destruction.
