@SSNBubblehead: Of course they don't want to. It's like when people refuse to acknowledge something they publicly, purposefully did. TFG was their boy, "ride or die", and in their minds and certainly in their political playbook, if you deny and dismiss it, it doesn't count as real. If they they say they read it, then it opens up new and more embarrassing lines of questioning, not that they aren't getting those questions already. It's just they still feel in some semblance of control and denial.
