I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.

The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if "the public only knew" then something would change. "The public" doesn't give a fuck.

My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.

What's public is very strategic. They published the wild but unverifiable stuff from random people . Syuff like Trump throwing children off boats or burying child trafficking victims in his very-visible golf courses. Stuff that isn't even looked into because it'sa random crazy person making random crazy person claims. But it still generates a report.

I work in government and deal with crazy people. I had a woman show up at City Hall last year for her meeting she arranged with Trump and Musk to help them overcome their differences. She insisted it was a real meeting, because she sent a meeting invite through Outlook. Then she forwarded me the invite.

So if someone sends an Open Records request to the City about any records involving Musk or Trump, there will be a record of a scheduled meeting between crazy lady, Trump, Musk, and me.

Those are the kind of records they are flooding us with right now with the currently-released files. This way, when the real stuff slips through it's dismissed by many as just more crazy stuff.

It's definitely this, but also shock and awe. Release everything all at once, but also not really everything, so there's a shitstorm of reporting with outlandish stories and ongoing criminality. The end goal of that is to traumatise the public into thinking nothing can be done, because everyone is both overwhelmed by the firehose of information.
