The Senate Majority Leader cannot "block" the president from making public statements, about intelligence or anything else. I understand McConnell threatened to play politics with the issue, but Obama could have warned Americans if he wanted. He chose not to.https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/955922458355404804 …
I remember. But I don't think conspiracy theorists should get a veto over presidential decisions. As I said in the article, it's complicated, and there's a lot of hindsight bias. But Biden's wrong that McConnell blocked Obama. Obama could've gone public anyway if he wanted to.

Of course Obama had the agency to do it BUT what effect would it have had and couldn’t it have been wildly counterproductive? The affected populations was Mitch’s and without him participating in the joint warning...Come on, climate was toxic.
