Don't forget this criticism of the Panama Papers coalition:

"DC based @ICIJorg is setting a very dangerous & short-sighted international standard where everything is censored by default. #PanamaPapers"

This was a comment made because ICIJ and SZ didn't release everything all at once.

So other groups are suspect when they act as arbiter of what's releasable and not releasable, but Wikileaks can avoid publishing RNC/Trump information because they don't deem it newsworthy.

Edit: Just in case...

Would you be willing to provide an index of the RNC/Trump materials that you did have? Not asking for you to host them, but I think a lot of your readers would like to know what was in your cache that was published elsewhere.

I ask because there's this comorbidity of timing, behavior, and narrative shifts lately. You initially hinted that you had material but it was relatively less controversial to what Trump was doing on a daily basis (e.g. his twitter and word vomit). Then you say that everything you had was already public domain. Then you say if you did have anything you would have released it.

Wouldn't it be easiest to simply dump the metadata on your RNC/Trump collection to settle the concern?
