Did the impeachment talk make Kerry back off
Advertisements [?]
from what he was going to do re: the Downing Street Memo? Or was the letter he's circulating likely his planned response all along.

I found myself wondering if he backed off, because as with Jan 6th, his involvement would discredit the process and turn it into uber sour grapes.

I don't think people understand this. Getting the memo the attention it deserves could be derailed if it is seen as merely a failed candidate crying in his beer. It could be so much more easily fluffed off that way.

I was going to post this out in GD, but I think you guys are more likely to get what I'm saying. They would say he's covering his ass. I'm saying that too strident a contribution from him re: the Downing Memo could damage the cause.

Even so, his little comment in a Mass. newspaper did something to get the issue covered I think. But what I'm not sure about is whether the impeachment talk made him back off, or if HE outfoxed THEM by making it look like THEY were jumping the gun and going off half-cocked.

What do you all think?
