If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Just to reinforce that words mean something, a mayor or president following laws passed by their legislatures or city councils is NOT "expanding" or "maximizing" executive power. It's using the power they have.
Going to war without authorization of Congress, that'd be executive power expansion
