then i can give him a pass.

im not sure releasing the tapes earlier would have changed much in our collective response to the virus and saved significantly more lives (trump and republicans would just double down on whatever new goalpost they chose).

but if the timing of this (right before early voting starts) helps get him out of office so a competent president can come in and try to right this ship...then thats an overwhelming net positive imo.

i was more annoyed at the michael schmidt (nytimes) shit where he deliberately held on to scoops that would have been major developments up to and through impeachment...but now nobody even cares about.
