He was extremely careful in the docs he permitted to be released. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you.

He also should have had some help from the news agency in them asking him for his opinion and using some of their own judgment about which parts of it to publishin case he accidentally shared anything in such a large group of documents. That probably also happened.

I think it's telling that multiple administrations have failed to come forward and promise him a fair trial, let alone any sort of deal, commutation, or pardon.

Everybody is guaranteed a fair trial. Why should anybody pardon somebody who hasn't been sentenced?
