Charlie Cook: “Before Ken Martin decided to give the Epstein-file treatment to the autopsy report, those briefed on the study had described it as the product of over 300 interviews with Democrats in all 50 states. Martin’s lame explanation was to say, ‘Here’s our North Star: Does this help us win? If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission.’”
“A more convincing explanation was that he intended to protect the egos and reputations of those who had made decisions that contributed to the party’s loss last year. Deep-sixing the report will hardly ingratiate the party’s donors, many of whom were already skeptical of Martin and opposed his election to chair the party from the beginning.”
