and it only ended up being two pages from 12 years ago.

After all the pre-show build up I guess she couldn't not run it.

IMO it was a set-up from someone in trump's camp.

It created a temporary kerfuffle, not enough to distract, as was intended, from the story that broke today of the Russian state hackers being arrested today for their trial run info hack with Yahoo.

trump has established a recognizable pattern now. When bad news is coming they send out a shiny object distraction to take media attention away.

Hope the journalists and the rest of us get it by now and don't fall for it.
