Agreed Ryu but it's not just their friends, it's more than certain to be across the political spectrum, don't make this a partisan issue. I'd say scenario 2 is most likely by far without the "protecting friends parts", they're protecting their apponents too by protecting themselves. They'll likely use scenario 1 as a way to cover scenario 2.

That links to my mini-nuke example, that if anyone makes a move they will all fire because they all likely have receipts and dirt on each other, nobody will make a move because of MAD. They aren't doing it to protect each other but because they're protecting themselves. Therefore #2 directly links into that because if there was no dirt on Trump he should have no issue with releasing it.

If it is #2 then he is either not releasing it because he is protecting someone or he isn't because he is implicated and if he releases files which remove himself but exposes others, then others will expose him. There will obviously be Democrats, Republicans, Independents and everyone in-between involved and they all only care about themselves.

The Chinese could have them, release the files and have the US go the way of the USSR.

China doesn't want America to collapse as much as they hate each other, China isn't as delusional as Russia, they need America, and America needs China, they're both huge trading partners with each other.

Possibly but if that were the case they could release just enough to cause major disruption, they have all the time and successfully too.
