Because we know it's a lie. That's why.
Every lie democrats spit out gets it’s own book deal. These are really sick people.
When this story broke I sat there and immediately questioned why they would do this, they would HAVE to know using unnamed sources and no proof would bring the whole thing down as a pathetic ploy.
Flash forward to the October surprise - they release the transcripts or a recording of Trump being Trump and saying something there could be taken out of context to support this story.
This is my biggest fear here, that we are being set up and they actually DO have something to base the story on. If true and released properly it would be very damaging, and yes, I can see The Atlantic sitting on a story for 2 whole years to spring at just the right time to create controversy.
