She's actually threatening the Republicans explicitly, I assumed she was going with the 'both sides do it' argument.

She's definitely going after the Republicans because they're the ones who have the power to force this release. The Dems have no real impact as long as the Republicans vote as a bloc, which they are likely to do. This is basically a threat to people who might step out of line that their records might be next.

From what I read, only one Republican on the ethics committee needs to defect to the Dems side to be able to release the report.

I don't know enough about any of the 5 members to guess if any of them are likely to want to break with Trump on this one.
