Jr. is for sure an idiot, no question. But how much worse is it having him release the e-mails than having NYT release them? The Times was obviously going to be releasing them today anyway

It's literally impossible for him to deny anything now. Even if the nyt released them he could just shout fake news and the maga chuds would accept that without question.

Do you think Trump is clever enough to draw a distinction between DNC and Hillary though?

Definitely not, but he tweeted about her emails many times before and after that day. The whole thing is that Olbermann pointed out that it was the first time Trump had mentioned "33,000 missing emails", but again, that's a specific detail that had nothing to do with this Russia meeting and is from a CNN story from 2015. Olbermann is kinda dumb, basically.

ya know even the whole "we wanted to collude but they just talked about adoption bullshit so no collusion you're the collusion" thing smells junior was just too stupid to know why the adoption thing was relevant to anything or why the russians would bring it up

extremely much worse

if the NYT had released the emails Don Jr could just have said "these are fake and bad, fake news!"

and even if he hadn't, his followers would've been able to tell themselves and each other "lol that's the nyt for ya"

This is a showbiz family. As far as Donny Jr. is concerned, this is just like David Letterman's mea culpa/admission on live TV to having had an affair when someone was trying to blackmail him over it.

i think he wanted to "stick it" to them and deny them the pageviews.

the only thing a trump knows how to do is attack.
