I understand how you feel that way
however, a principled and righteous win is required for many, many reasons
reminds of me of a court case i once learned about... defendants accused of heinous crimes, given very little information on what happened previously. after it was over, justice was served, judge later chatted with the jurors on all the other things the defendants were guilty of (it was a long wrap sheet, just as vile and disgusting things they were convicted of... the jurors, or public, in this case, will make the right decision based off public good. Without previous knowledge of how 'bad' some parties are/were
That is my hope anyways
I agree completely. At this point, I see no reason to try to satisfy their expectation of impartiality. If aliens with their infinite intelligence came down to earth and told the President that releasing this information would result in civil unrest, he should tell them "FUCK YOU, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW EXCEED ANY VIOLENT RAMIFICATIONS".

The order for Declas has been given, so the legal part is covered. Delivery time is probably fuzzy, it takes whatever time it takes to make public. So technically not a breach of trust. I agree that the most effective timing would be after the houses are seated and the military tribunal orders take effect. When the info is made public there will be a massive public outcry and demand for arrests which, if timed correctly can then effectively take place and swift trials carried out. Thus the administration is seen to be complying with public demand rather than imposing a dictatorial agenda. optics.

I'm on the fence here. I used to think we'd need a solid October surprise, but then Kavanaugh happened. The dems are the gift that have been giving since two years into BOs presidency. Also, as another anon pointed out, Dan Bongino makes a good case to wait.
I say at least wait until the real polls with likely voters come out in two weeks or so, then make the call.
As others have pointed out, we simply cannot afford to lose either chamber.

If they know a violent response is coming they need to prepare.
