My take.

Preface: I'm not defending the response, which I think was handled extremely poorly, rather explaining what I think is going on.

There are 2 issues happening simultaneously.

1. The chain of custody of evidence is so poor, and extreme politicization so rampant that no one knows whats what in the evidence. Bondi has received the evidence, but no one has much faith in how accurate any of it is. The evidence points to Trump and his close circle / political appointees involvement. Maybe even AI generated video. But simultaneously seems to clear previously suspected guilty individuals.....Trump swears that such evidence is all false and planted. In short its a clusterfuck...some innocent people seem added and guilty people seem removed... and they don't have any good options for how to use the evidence they have received. By releasing it, you are both implicating the innocent and excusing the guilty.
2. Simultaneous to this, Trump is leveraging his squashing of the case for political points. That is vis a via the intelligence agencies involvement and other politicians who he thinks were involved. He is using it as an opportunity to get political favors. Case in point: The sudden DOJ cases against Brennan and Comey. The intelligence agencies have been told to stand down and allow these two to be "thrown under the bus", which they are doing. In general the intelligence agencies care more about the case never seeing the light of day rather than they do about the political fallout against this or that individual taking the fall...therefore they are happy to play ball.

Being completely honest, if this is the case, I don't know how I would handle it either. Generally I think honesty is always the best policy and there is some part of me that thinks Trump should've scheduled an interview with someone like Tucker and publicly explained the dilemma he is in instead of the complete ham-fisted response he has taken.
