meh

Makes Joe sound like sympathetic figure.

Not good to release these.

Chess. Why would the Post publish something good among the rest of the information about corruption. Does the media say “look, joe’s really a nice guy!” Nope. They can’t say anything because they’re already claiming it’s fake. And if this interchange is real, then the rest of the conversations on those texts are going to be real. Also, I think we’ll eventually learn how cold Joe must have been to manipulate his drug addict son. Imagine Joe trying to be “kind” just to run damage control and keep his asset in check and from flipping. Using love to keep Hunter under his wing. Classic abuser tactic.

Right. That and I think it may be to lure the press in before the bomb hits.
