This is fake. That's why they all voted to not release it. It's to satisfy the base wanting it's release for Moses Mike.

Prediction: This whole thing is a stall tactic until they can wipe off Trump‘s name and any other Republican names from the list. Then they will release a heavily redacted version implicating only Democrats and other non-Maga.
