I do kind of agree that releasing the files is irrelevant at this point, but not for the reason you stated.
I think it's irrelevant because they've spent so much time sanitizing them that they're worthless at this point. All the incriminating evidence has been destroyed.
There's a reason we don't let the drug dealer sit at his house flushing the drugs for 6 months before you serve the search warrant.
Right? I just binged it the other day purely on a lark, and was devastated to see that there was not a season 2.
I was subsequently very glad to see that it was only a couple days from the season premier.
