Peter Baker on Trump’s Lawsuit Against the WSJ: The Letter Is Fascinating, It Does Pour Gasoline on It

‘The letter doesn’t tell us something we didn’t really know about Donald Trump, we knew he was prone to crude sexual banter’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:
BAKER: "Yeah. The letter is fascinating Because it does pour gasoline on it. It doesn’t, on the other hand, answer the question that a lot of people have Right. The letter doesn’t Tell us something We Didn’t really know about Donald Trump. We knew he was Prone to crude. Sexual banter. He used his locker room term locker room banter. He once said of his access Hollywood tape, we knew he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. This obviously is a reminder of that confirmation of that. It doesn’t answer A. lot of the questions a lot of people have. But it certainly fuels the fire, absolutely keeps the. Story alive, and it encourages More suspicion that there. Might be. More there to be hidden. You know, when the president says he wants to have grand jury testimony released, a of course, a judge has to approve that That’s not a given by any stretch. And b A grand Jury testimony isn’t the. Entirety of the file So the problem for the president is Even if they released some documents, even if they released Some grand jury testimony, if they redacted It or they only Released grand jury testimony, it’s still Going to be people out there saying, okay, what about the rest of the file? What about the things you’re still not releasing? It’s kind of a pandora’s box for him. Once he’s opened that pandora’s box, it’s awfully hard to shut it again."
