Think it simply is because it was information relevant to a high stake impeachment of the President – of all people. It was not some Hollywood or silicon kid but a kid in the midst of a case with focus from the entire world.

It was also material connected to a high level political person like Joe Biden. That brings up national security concerns.

One scenario is that the shop owner contacted a lawyer, politician, Bannon or the like - who in turn advised him to make a copy and notify the FBI. If they did not do anything with it, then leak it at a appropriate time.

That said. It likely does not matter much. Biden has publicly bragged about using US funds to blackmail an ally. The fact that Burisma got access to the VP and the White House is something everyone has known for years. Thing is that they do not care. The media and big tech do not care. They want to preserve the swamp.

Ed: As another point. Countries, and now I talk about western countries, paid millions into the Clinton Fundation right up til she lost the election. Why? To get access. Western “oh, we're so clean and hate bade orange man” democracies 100% in on pay for play. Why does western democracies attack Trump so much? Because they lost a lot of their access by money. Suddenly they have to do things to advance the relation ship like spend money on NATO.

Big politics is nothing but a huge scam. Trump is one in a century personality that actually manages to rock with some of it's foundation.
