If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you!
Uh - yeah, genius. They can do it to anyone who breaks the law. That's how it's supposed to work - it's what we pay them to do.

Podcast
Leigh McGowan - Politics Girl - with Teri Kanefield
Why did he want it released when it makes him look bad?
Trump always makes things worse for Trump (thank you, Bob Cesca)
..."because no publicity is bad publicity" is his mantra. Exactly what Ms Kanefield said - to him, it's just a matter of keeping himself at the center of the conversation. The consequences don't matter because most people won't remember any of it 3 days from now anyway, and by then, he'll have given us 5 other things to worry about.
It's episodic. He puts on his little pageant, intended to create confusion, and the reaction to it (good or bad) helps him find an opportunity to cash in on whatever comes of it, which in turn drives the script for the next episode.
"In confusion there is opportunity" --Tony Curtis as Lt Holden, Operation Petticoat - 1959
...or maybe it was Sun Tzu - ca 6th Century BCE(?)
it's not rocket surgery
if you want a more democratic government
you have to elect more democrats

You were conned, and you shouldn't feel bad about that - they should feel bad about that.

The War In Front Of Us
Leigh McGowan - Politics Girl - We are at war with Russia, we've been at war with Russia for a while, and we've lost some important early battles.
Accusing the other side of doing what you're doing is also a good way to inoculate yourself. Republicans make a big noise about fraud and vote switching, which is rebutted by the Dems as silly because it's nonexistent, and then when it's discovered that Repubs are doing just that, and the Dems complain, then Repubs can play the video of Dems knocking down such accusations. A fair bunch of people are going to be just confused enough to stay frozen in the middle, so you can continue doing the divide-n-conquer thing.
And if I may: I think what's happening goes well beyond Putin's petty ambitions to reconstitute the USSR - it all fits with my personal paranoia about an effort to pull down all democratic self-governing countries in order to create a global stateless plutocracy.
