That image is in a lot of heads out there, true or not. It solidifies the image of Trump as a creep and a pervert. It won't dissuade the true believers, but for swing voters, it may help in 2020.

From MassCommons blog:

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics.  Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.  The race was close and Johnson was getting worried.  Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows.
“Christ, we can’t get a way calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested.  “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”
“I know,” Johnson replied.  “But let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”

It's to risky for the people involved to release it. A lot of people will be hurt by it. The editors who put it together, the producers in the room who knew it was happening. Those people will be ruined financially.

It's not like it's a video someone took with their camera. It's the property of the production company.

briefing that will come out.

It's sickening to me that so many have seen this stuff but the public won't get to see it until after trump is installed in the White House.

Remember? Wasn't it just last week that Rep. Maxine Waters and other Dems came out of the briefing by Comey highly pissed at what they were exposed to?

The coming weeks are going to be tumultuous.

This isn't over yet.
