I was expecting The Atlantic to hold onto their “trump card” of screenshots until the heat increased, but the things heated up fast! So I’m glad they didn’t let the narrative run away without a challenge.

I was hoping they would hold it to use as a weapon against future threats to punish or silence the fourth estate.
In my 65 years, I have never once suggested blackmail as a palatable solution, but then again, I never thought I would be paying to read Bill Kristol every day. (No offense to Bill, I'm a loyal fan now, but if you'd told me that 20 years ago I would never have believed it!)
Agreed. I bet they planned to hold off releasing the details, but the assault on Goldberg came swift and fast and had to be shut down; as we know a lie spreads faster than the truth. I now see that a swift reveal was a good defense.
