I don't mean to be a doomer but what is "releasing the files" going to do?

So basically my thought process is that the people who are in charge of "releasing the files" are actively covering up what's in them. They know all of the rich and powerful people are child sex criminals and murderers and probably cannibals and god knows wtf else

So what does releasing the files accomplish? Everyone already knows what's in them and the people who are supposed to punish those in them are protecting them

Is the thought process that the shit they've yet to release is so fucked up that people en masse would act? I don't see that happening sadly. Not to say I don't want the files released
