I truly do not see how it matters. The public either loves or hates Trump . There is nobody on the fence any longer and these leaks will not sway anybody one way or another.
JMHO.
They were sent to the Chief of Staff while he was in the performance of his duties.
Biden declined to shield them under Executive Privilege. Which will have pretty bad consequences when a Republican is again President.
But the issues are 1) Are the messages factual (not fake)? 2) If not fake, what time were they sent? 3) When did President Trump issue his statement?
That is what the media will focus on, not if they were private.
“..They can’t rally around Biden on one single issue...”
Well, they could always go back to: FJB and Let’s Go Brandon. Those are popular issues....LOL
That is a given. They will use everything and anything they can to smear President Trump. And the peanut gallery will aid and abet them mightily.
We have on record Trump ending his Jan 6 speech telling them to protest peacefully. That alone is way more than he would be required to do.
“I wouldn’t consider anything that goes out on the internet to be private.”
You are right!
I don't agree. The timing is important (from the time the messages were sent until President Trump issued his statement).
