the slow drip of leaks is proving to be an effective strategy. Normally they flood the zone after a bombshell and the scandal gets buried. This time, whomever is conspiring against him is doing a much better job at keeping things tightly wrapped and leaking it slowly to keep the conversation relevant.
I think whoever is behind it is trying to get Vance into the Oval Office.
I'm thinking this has to do with Vance's secret weekend meeting at Warren Buffet's house a few months back.
As much as I dislike him, I would rather a cunt than a nonce.
You aren't going to get that cunt, he is just a mouthpiece for the Antichrist expert, Peter Thiel.
Probably, but anyone who hasn't raped children is better than someone who has.
I'm here for the drama
It's a good tactic because whatever lies the Whitehouse comes up with to defend against the first few leaked things might be countered by the next few leaked things. They have no idea what is available to be leaked next so have to be careful what they say.
If it all came out at once they would know exactly what they have to work with when crafting their story.
As well, coming out a little bit at a time means people can focus and pay attention to the details, discuss it.
If 20,000 emails were all of a sudden leaked hardly anyone would care because no one would be talking about the same things at the same time and the details get lost
