See, this is why I would never be allowed to get to a position of real importance. Because if I were in Dershowitz's shoes, I would 100% throw caution to the wind and shout out all the names I had. I would spill it all. Damn the consequences. I think it's shameful that this old man isn't doing that.

There's another way to do this.

(Quietly) release the names to a third party. Ensure there is no way to track back to Dershowitz.

Bang. Zoom. Mission accomplished.

Trouble with that is that for prosecution purposes, there has to be a documented provenance for everything.

Some of what is going on here, I believe, is because the public wants the info released to THEM, but (hopefully) the Trump admin wants it released to a military tribunal. There is a huge difference in the due diligence required. One can be instant, but the other requires meticulous documentation and follow-up investigation.

And doing the former before you’re ready for the latter may compromise the ability to do the necessary follow-up investigation. If the bad guys know you’re on their tail they can get rid of evidence. So you want them to think they’re scot-free until you pounce with all the evidence you’ve collected. This is a Sun-Tzu tactic as well, which Trump has studied much.

There are a lot of factors that the impatient do-it-right-now-ers aren’t considering. I really, really hope and pray that those in charge ARE considering all those things, and I pray that they can get all the necessary documentation done very soon so that this outcry can culminate in the revelation of it all through military tribunals.
