They have had 10 months to destroy the evidence. That was done long ago, but let's hope people stashed some copies that will be leaked once the FBI releases what it claims to be complete files.

The reason for Trump's about-face is that he knows a bunch of Republicans were going to vote against him. He is trying to make it look like it was his idea.
