House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein sent messages to his longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell and the author Michael Wolff suggesting that Donald J. Trump knew more about the convicted sex offender’s abuse than he had acknowledged. Our reporters are reviewing the larger trove of documents released by Republicans.
Everybody already knows that Trump is a rapist.
Democrats could have leaked this last week to put more pressure on the budget resolution.
Instead they release it this week to distract from the fact that they caved on the budget resolution.
How would that have worked?
“Accede to our demands or we’ll release this! Then when you swear in the new girl we’ll vote to release it ALL.”
I’m probably missing something dumb.
