We wouldn't be happy with it.

Also - that was a year and a half ago folks . . . like what good is it to us now.

I feel like one month under Trump is 3. We've all moved on.

Regardless, it didn't matter whether they released it or not, they'd get raked over the coals. It also doesn't matter what it says, they may not learn from it or follow any recommendations, just like they ignored the 2016 autopsy.

Not releasing them was looking like they had something to hide

Because, as I understand it, this document was leaked to CNN by someone inside the DNC. CNN then went to Ken Martin, essentially saying, "Hey. We got this rough draft of your 2024 autopsy. If you want to release it yourself, go ahead. Otherwise, we're going to."
