   We really need to figure out what to do about all of this because I think we're getting to a critical point where these documents _will_ go public so it should come from us and not e.g., DRASTIC or congress. The GOP will take the house and Bob and I will be dragged in front of congress - getting this stuff out before in a way in which we 'control'the narrative will be important. I still think we should talk to Jon about it

   Sorry, but I can't agree to the release of these emails for the reasons I've given before. I think we do nothing. I don't see how DRASTIC could get hold of these. Nature will not allow release of peer review reports.

   We won't be able to control the narrative. Let's be realistic.

   The problem is, it's not a question of whether to release them or not - if congress gets involved we have to hand over _all_ these documents no matter what we or our institutions say. Either we control that release or it'll come via congress later this year.

   At that stage it's a legal process

   Andrew and I are not subject to US law

   Doesn't matter - the documents were shared with US officials

   Internal emails between us are a different matter - but not when it comes to the documents that were shared and that I worked on while being supported by NIH grants.
