I think we get all the emails ready but hold-off doing anything until it becomes critical. To me, this is the nuclearoption and it has serious downstream consequences (because it gives precedent for ALL other emails to bereleased) so I really don't want to do it. And by critical I don't mean DRASTIC or USRTK. They are small fry and easy to counter, and whatever we release they would pick-and-choose what they want. I honestly couldn't give afuck about DRASTIC. I don't think drafts of the paper are the issue. It's what we were told in the teleconference.
-
I don't think we should ever release the emails, unless we're forced to via legal proceedings (in this case, eitherlawsuits or subpoenas).The drafts are different - they show the linear logic of how we came to our conclusions after the call and why there's absolutely nothing to hide here. I get the sense that they're mostly after those at the moment, but we'll see.I agree that we should do _nothing_ right now, but let's set up a Zoom in a couple of weeks.
-
I wouldn't release the drafts until it is absolutely necessary. I'm absolutely certain this will lead to a series ofunintended consequences.
-
Agreed. Don't release anything.

Plus it's a scientific paper FFS. If people don't like they can just write a response.

or if you are Alina just tweet you f'ing brains out....

It's nothing to do with logic - the issue is that there's a DEMAND FOR TRANSPARENCY from the GOP, which includes things like the "Fauci Act" and other complete bullshit. It's all a conspiracy theory, but that matters little once they take over the House - that's when the subpoenas will start flying. As you may recall, I have already beensummoned - however, the GOP is currently in the minority so they can't force me and the lawyers acting on mybehalf responded to that request via a written response. But again, once they become the majority, they have full subpoena power and that changes everything - it's very important to control as much of the narrative as possible before that happens.
-
I'm sorry, but I just don't agree. Releasing drafts of a paper will not control the narrative and very likely backfire.
-
I agree with Eddie - keep with line that it is all laid out in the published paper itself. We were just asked to look at the data and say what we thought. We published what we thought.
