The punditocracy got something to opine about far more interesting than the presidential candidates arguing over who said what to who in 2018. Outrage addicts in both camps got a cathartic thrill: the believers in both a domestic deep state and a far reaching Kremlin conspiracy got fuel for their fantasies. Trump got yet another chance to feel aggrieved and do some staff purging. More than one book deal will no doubt be signed. Eric Ciaramella may even get input into who plays him in the movie. Google got a ton of traffic from people looking for ammunition for their arguments.
The only real losers I see in all this are the Bidens and diehard fans of “The Young and the Restless”.
