No doubt the plan was that this story was going to erupt and each new day would bring another leak of emails on the drip feed to keep the story going. Instead, the story failed to catch fire. Much of the comment was about it being a Russian operation, and Facebook & Twitter limited its spread.
A slow-burner isn’t what Trump needs. I guess you already know the election is only 2 weeks away. Moreover, there have already been 28 million early votes cast in the 21 States that have had it up to this point (with another handful of States opening early voting today, including Florida). Given the expectation that the total of votes will end up being 150 million, the Trump campaign needs the story to catch fire now, not in 2 weeks or in the months ahead.
By the way, the CNN legal commentator, Jeffrey Toobin, has died by his own hand (metaphorically speaking). He was in a Zoom meeting in his capacity as a New Yorker columnist and thought his video was off. Whatever was being discussed must have been arousing and he was caught on camera trying to relieve the tension!
Dodge, I see we were thinking the same thing. I posted mine before I saw your post.
