I'm saying they shouldn't release the details right now because right now those details are great for Trump.
Irresponsible disclosure is just as bad as non-disclosure.
You're perpetuating the myth that Trump is invincible, that "there is no such thing as bad press for him", and echoing his enablers who are whining that "now is not the time for finger pointing and talking about the past, there will be a time for that later", at the same time that Trump himself is doing nothing but finger pointing and talking about the past.
If finger pointing and talking about the past is so ineffective and off-limits, then why is Trump doing it so much, why are his allies breathlessly admonishing everyone else not to do it, and why do you think at the same time that Trump is so invincible?
As for paragraph two, it's not a myth. It's been the last 4 years of reality. One more minor scandal won't make a difference compared to the things he's already gotten away with, and in this respect we disagree on whether it's actually a scandal for him (which you believe) or it's pandering to his base (which I believe).
It's not about making the past off-limits, it's about taking away a campaign point from Trump. What Trump tried to do is not a scandal to him. It is not a bad thing to his supporters. THEY WANT HIM TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS. And publicizing that is just giving him free publicity that will make his supporters more motivated to show up to re-elect him in November. Is that what you want?
I mean, there's been almost 5 years of bad press for him (discounting everything before late 2015) and it hasn't really affected how the GOP treat him (like a king) or how his base seem him (like a saviour king.)
> Trump is invincible
Until the media and the GOP start doing a better job, yeah, he pretty much is, unfortunately.
G'Kar: To the Narn Homeword, of course. You came with ships, and guns, and mass drivers. You plucked asteroids out of near orbit and sent them plunging down onto our cities, killing men and women and children. Onto the sick and the infirm and the innocent.
Londo Molari: It was not my idea. I didn't even know. It was Refa. It was not my fault. I said ...
G'Kar: You said nothing. You said Nothing. You said NOTHING. Nothing.
Londo Molari: Leave me alone.
G'Kar: No. Look at me.
Londo Molari: I can't.
G'Kar: LOOK AT ME.
G'Kar: Do you remember this place?
Londo Molari: Yes.
G'Kar: I was tortured in this place. I as whipped. Emperor Cartasia wanted to hear me scream.
Londo Molari: Yes, and if you did not scream, the 40th stroke of the whip would kill you. And your people would be slaves forever. Yes.
G'Kar: You remember.
Londo Molari: Yes.
G'Kar: You were there.
Londo Molari: Yes!
G'Kar: And you said ...nothing.
Emperor Cartasia: Thirty four. Thirty five. Thirty six.
G'Kar: Nothing.
Emperor Cartasia: Thirty seven. Thirty eight.
G'Kar: Nothing!
Emperor Cartasia: Thirty nine.
G'Kar: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
G'Kar: One word, Molarri. One word was all that was required of you.
Londo Molari: It would not have mattered. It wouldn't have changed anything. It would not have stopped.
G'Kar: You're wrong, Mollari. Whether it was me or my world, whether it was a total stranger, or your worst enemy.
YOU WERE A WITNESS!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'D STOP!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'D LISTEN!
YOU HAD AN OBLIGATION TO SPEAK OUT!!!
Londo Molari: I couldn't.
G'Kar: And that's why you don't deserve to be Emperor. And that's why you don't deserve to live.
