We tried at the time, no one found anything. The other thing he could have done is release the key to un-encrypt the files. I could see not releasing the child porn stuff, that's criminal. But surely he'd have released the encryption key he used to hack into the files.
He gave them the files but I don't think he gave them the key to unlock the files.
That key to unencrypt is the key to this whole thing. At least release the key to the general public so people can do the right thing when the time comes. Only giving something that incendiary to the DC police is sketchy as hell.

How would he know that? The files were encrypted weren't they?
SonicHedgehog ago
Well he hacked them.

Why didn't he release the un-encrypted versions then?
SonicHedgehog ago
He did. Find them.

"Find them."

He gave it to the police, right?
