Michael Brendan Dougherty added,
Both can be true. GOP can be cynically releasing this stuff & some liberals & media can be (foolishly) taking the bait. I'll confess I fell for 1998 story before I realized how thin the sourcing was. I really think only named allegations should be discussed.
Yes, but apparently nobody is going to draw a cautionary lesson from this.
Except, of course, from the "quarter of your feed" that provided the explicit premise of your tweet.
I don’t think they’ve figured it out yet either
To clarify: I think they haven’t figured out the cautionary lesson in the GOP poison pills. No I don’t claim to know the truth and motivation about every player in the drama.
But you do believe these are GOP poison pills?
I think they are in an impossible position with accusations in this climate. If they don’t release this stuff they can be accused of deliberately silencing victims.
And I’m not sure that they did, looked like NBC was out with their story before the transcripts
The source of the NBC story is murky, true.
Yeah, I include the NBC story in that. It shouldn't have been published.
