Was this all dumped at once? I wonder if our various

Newsrooms are trying to put this out in some sort of organized fashion. I can't keep up, don't get me wrong I am immensely enjoying this, it's like Christmas everyday. And tonight takes the cake.

and he briefly mentioned Netanyahu and I *bet* there's a file for him on that server too!

There may indeed be a not-coincidental aspect to the matter of which sources tell what to which reporters when.

and decided that the opportunity finally presented itself and they did the dump, since it finally connected with a broader news story.

They want to be on the right side of history instead of being complicit, IMO.
