the public we have done every possible thing to cross our t s and dot our i s or shouldn t have to? yeah. well, so a lot of sensible arguments over the last five years haven t quieted the nay sayers, stephanie. i m not sure we need to play to that audience. but i take your point. that by bringing in a special master there s a imprim tor of neutrality. don t forget the department of justice has an enormous to get it right. if they get it wrong, if there s actually a document that s covered by attorney/client privilege and there s no exception to it, and they pass it over the transom to the investigative team, they can do harm to the investigation. so whether it s the doj internal filter team looking at it or special master looking at it, everybody has an incentive to do this right. but your point is a good one. it s a really savvy point that there might be for some people
biden administration to actively share information more than they typically would with allies was fraught with difficulty, because there s always a fear there s moles in the intelligence community and if the u.s. tells everybody what it knows about what vladimir putin is going to do, someone will leak it and it ll end up being bad news. in this case it allowed joe biden to gather the nay sayers in nato, to gather the nay sayers in the european union who didn t want to stop doing business with russia as much as they didn t want russia to invade ukraine. it served a very legitimate purpose. that s right, ali. really if you remember president zelenskyy, even just two to three weeks ago was messaging the opposite, which is stay calm, this is overblown. i think it allowed him to get up on his feet and prepare. he s been a remarkable leader during conflict. there s a debate about exposing sources and methods. and the idea if we give up how we got this information to our partners or the pub
