He said at the time, he was in a no win position.

Yep. That’s what he said. I’ll note that he is spinning that a bit AND he picked the option that would help the side he favored politically.

This was alleged to be new info on a case that had already been well investigated. And if memory serves, it took only a few days to investigate this new information and find that it didn’t add anything to the previous investigation.

He had the option to wait a couple of days to let his investigators do their job before making any public announcement. Or ask them for a quick assessment of the odds of it being something or nothing before deciding whether to announce something or not.

But none of that matters to this sham indictment of a Trump enemy. It only serves to remind trumps “friends” that their “friendship” is only good until the next time trump needs to use you for some benefit to himself - with all the risks falling on you.
