All the talk of it being like Geraldo's Capone vault reveal and how it was filled with lies and misinformation sort of backed them into a corner. They were losing the narrative before it was released and thought they'd have a shot at regaining some momentum if it was out there for them to spin.

I don't think that's working out for them the way they'd hoped it would.
