pre-trial disclosure could the actual evidence have been known, and not necessarily what would have been selected out to use in the actual trial.

Reference to the laws and evidence have been in filings, but actual evidence? Only known precisely by the judge and defense but not publicly available pre-trial filing records.

That evidence will accompany the Jack Smith Final Report, likely in some appendices.
So no, even those interested in the report don't know the breadth and scope of the case that would have been prosecuted.
