My guess is the slow drip right now is to "set the stage"…plant the seeds in normies' minds that Hunter is a pedo crackhead and Joe is corrupt yet dont drop the big booms yet and LET them vote for ChinaJoe.
When Trump wins and the drip becomes a flood, election day + 1, normies will gasp with all the shit dropped. They may even thank Trump for winning (cue the Google "can I change my vote?" trend) as they see all the pedo/rape/torture/pay for play/blackmail shit.
Trump wins, his win is uncontested due to the filth exposed of the left election day + 1, and POTUS' hands are clean…they can't say he influenced the election outcome with the Hunter hard drives if it's done the next day after he rightfully wins.
