Trump doesn't compartment his campaign from his crimes, meaning Iran could be - could have been trying, could have succeeded in - stealing information about the Iran-related documents Trump took when he left the White House. The report that Susie Wiles was the intended target of the hack confirms that risk. In addition to running Trump's campaign, Wiles decided who would be provided defense attorneys paid by the campaign. Aside from the classified information Trump shared with her, she should never have had anything implicating classified discovery (and the classified discovery itself should never have left the SCIFs in which it was provided to defense attorneys). But she is likely to know some of what - for example - witnesses like Kash Patel said about classified information.
In addition to the hack, Iran allegedly was also trying to solicit a hit squad to kill Trump (indeed, the alleged recruiter, Asif Merchant, was just indicted on Wednesday). That makes the possibility of Iran exploiting internal information from Trump's campaign far more dangerous.
Even though I offered that explanation a month ago, I still get questions from people about why I, and why other outlets, haven't published the documents. Don't get me wrong, other outlets are, without a doubt, exercising a double standard in choosing not to publish these documents, or at least reviewing whether the JD Vance vetting document includes some of the really damning videos surfaced since Trump picked him.
