This line of inquiry strikes me as absurd: Why would NYT want to open the story to competitors?

-
point taken. but i can easily see a scenario where a single source has shared the email, but in an off the rec/not yet reportable way...
-
No question. I'm just griping about that one suggestion that this was a strategic and intentional drip-drop operation by NYT.
-
It seemed to me like they were running what they had confirmed when they had it confirmed/one story necessarily aided reporting of the next.

Why does it matter?
-
because of the way Don Jr's statements changed over time. if the NYT had the emails all along, that's... notable.
-
Maybe, but it's a combination of what they had and what they told him.

I thought they rolled it out this way to corner the Trump WH and Don Jr. as they responded to each new tidbit of the overall. It worked!
-
My thoughts too.

They played it well, NYT gave just enough rope for the Thump 's & white house to hang themselves with more LIES, then Forced the chain dump
-
...and made it more difficult for Don, Jr to plead the 5th because he was the one who released the emails.
-
Would have been nice to be a fly on the WH wall when they learned NYT was still holding & tugging the end of rope with the full email chain

In nearly 30 years of newspapering, I have never heard of holding back breaking info. (Unless it's a long-in-the-works series.)

Scoop danger too high.

MAYBE, the NYT was looking for sufficient proof of authenticity. ANYone can type a fake e-mail that LOOKS real

Problem is that tipping the initial stories gives WaPo / everyone else a heads up that emails exist and a chance to scoop

I think the Russians are threatening trump to expose him because he's not delivering. They want it sanctions lifted.

Why was Natalia Veselnitskaya in a House Foreign Affairs Comm. hear. w/Michael McFaul? Real journalists would ask. Americans need to know.

He doesn't know himself. If you look at the picture she is spying on his laptop with her phone!
