I reached out to sources that reviewed the files after David Shuster reported that republicans in the House are panicking. This is about what I learned.
I love how the headline makes a comparison against nothing. Many of us already assumed the files were as bad as one might imagine. For example, we know that Trump makes inappropriate remarks about preteens, so it wouldn’t be that surprising if they were included among the victims. It wouldn’t be surprising if victims were blackmailed or if their families were blackmailed. You know, what is it that’s in these files that’s actually worse than what a reasonable person might imagine they contain, given what we already know?
