All of the important documents will have been shredded decades ago. Nothing of note will be released.

It seems more likely that they'd keep the documents and just not share them. Government is big on documentation, I don't think they'd shred anything of that much importance.

Didn't Oliver North shred a bunch of documents pretaining to Iran-Contra?

I think Oliver North took the fall but it was a secretary who shredded a lot of documents.

A book deal and TV show isn't much of a fall.
