Agreed, it sounds like Griffin had an understandable emotional response to an extreme situation and her feelings changed over time as she processed what went down. It was messy, and we watched it unfold in public and in real time. I’m not sure why she is being characterized as manipulative and calculating? It’s…

Spot on. This is step one in: “Campaign finance violations and obstruction of justice aren’t big deals” theater. You shoot yourself in the foot now, then spend months claiming it wasn’t a big deal and lying to your base. Now it gets to be: “Trump was embarrassed and did it for his family, Democrats are destroying a…

Nope. Jules blew that excuse in the same interview:

They’re just testing to see how much they can continue to get away with without consequences. And there will be no actual consequences for anything Guiliani did or said today. Not now, not soon, and probably not ever.
