If you want a perfect example of where 'going high' screwed up everything, this is it.

The Biden administration could have redacted what any reasonable person would consider enough- that is enough to protect the identities of the girls, before arranging for a 'disgruntled DOJ' worker to leak everything to Wikileaks and the NYT, and done so in days.

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

I've got to say, one of the most compelling arguments MAGAts had was "If there was any hard evidence of Trump doing anything, the Biden administration would have released it". True or not, it was an impactful argument to many.
