Because if he does, the media will corrupt it and spin it into fake news and bury Mike with a false narrative that his data isn’t valid. Mike would then fight that narrative for months.
The media will defame him either way. If he released the data, we could comb through it and take it to the courts or use it to kickstart more audits. Why did he promise to release the data before the Symposium if he never had an intention to do so? Something doesn't add up.
Not defame him, they would intentionally corrupt whatever he released, then report that the data is invalid.
He was about to drop the China portion of the data the morning of the second day, and then halted when he found out Joshua was going to insert the poison pill. He showed enough of the data for all of the cyber experts to conclude Mike’s data was from the 2020 election, which was all he asked, and which was what the 5 million was for. Fake news has spun so many lies into this story, that it won’t add up to anyone reading fake news about what happened.
There are ways to avoid that. He could generate a cryptographic hash of the data and announce it live on air. That way, everyone could tell if the data has been tampered with.

Looks like Mike knows his shit.

Well you saw what was about to happen if he had released them at the symposium: deep state was right there ready to poison pill the data.
No, Mike is doing the right thing by withholding it for now. We shall see where things go next.
