I guess it took them awhile to sanitize everything.
Bingo.
Harder than you might think. They really don’t know what the committee already has and has been sitting on just waiting for the right moment to pounce.
It’s the same thing with Gowdy and Benghazi. The smoking gun has them all freaked, but Gowdy’s statement that he already has more evidence than he is showing has to have them pissing their pants because they dare not withhold anything that he “might” already have. That would definitely blow things apart.
And what if Gowdy has a witness? Someone he is keeping in the background now, but who is willing to come forward at the proper time to lay things bare. This is the kind of battle of nerves that a good prosecutor loves.
Likely many of the emails are already leaked and the official presentation is for making them admissible in a court of law.
If any smoking gun or condemning emails are missing, then this will go another round or two or three.
I suspect the release of a selected subset of emails is an attempt to get Lerner off the hot seat and kept out of jail; so she won’t ‘sing’.
