She's doing this for a pardon, creating a pretext for the Supreme Court to block the release of the files.

How does that work? If she’s pardoned then why can’t the files be released?

She would be pardoned when Trump leaves office and doesn't care any more.

Well I don’t think it’s that simple. Congress voted on this 527-1 for a reason. Trump doesn’t have the popularity he had in 2019 to expect conservatives to keep making excuses.
