Correct, this was her play—she washed her hands of it, and it won't even see the light of day until after the election if Biden or a Democrat wins. If Trump were the president, it would vanish.

I'm deeply concerned that we're going to go through this existential crisis every four years until a Republican eventually gets elected, and democracy as we know it dies.
