Maybe in his rush to obstruct justice, Trump may end up torpedoing his own battleship…

Probably: Trump defenders’ enablers’ attempts at manipulating the narrative by selective release of “classified” stuff haven’t worked out very well so far.
But then again, that’s “so far”.
I think the WH is starting to get desperate here, with Mueller racking up indictments, pleas and convictions on a regular basis - based, one has to assume, on solid, unassailable evidence - and Trump’s trashing of whatever minimal credibility he has left with every tweet he sends.
My guess (as blabbermouth Nunes seems to suggest) that this latest doc dump is going to be a very carefully edited/redacted/cherry-picked release of out-of-context/misquoted communications all designed to show “bias” in the DoJ/FBI investigations. The main audience for this BS, though is likely to be the RW media, who are going to be primed (and almost certainly coached) to trumpet these “revelations” to the sky to try to gin up outrage among the MAGAts before the elections.
That whatever these declassified documents actually say, and if they are factually accurate, is irrelevant to the bubble crowd: I just hope the rest of the media and the country are paying attention.
