All in all hardly compelling enough to in any way impact his credibility.

I do agree that still makes it a little odd. He could have easily emailed it after he left town with his family and still dodged the press. I just count that as DC politicking to achieve his ends, a special prosecutor. Had it been from him directly it may have automatically be construed as "sour grapes".

I think his point too was that had it been directly from him the press that were already camping him would have become that much worse.

Welcome to DC politics Donny boy, backroom bullying is so basic compared to how these guys operate.
