Yeah, and I bet Harris is so delusional that she thinks it will vindicate her. She has done everything but blame her own short comings since the election and I think she's getting high on her own supply of bullshit.

My immediate reading is that she would not make a statement like this if she wasn't fully confident they'll refuse to release it no matter what happens.

Everything the Democrats do is about optics

It only makes sense if she thinks it'll make her look good for 2028

She has pretty terrible political instincts, so I imagine that it is something like:

"Harris fought internally to distance herself from the Biden administration and their policies, but the party, the Biden admin, and her campaign advised her against that strategy."

Which, in her mind paints the picture that her hands were tied and that she inherited a bad situation. What she doesn't understand is that her cowardice and lack of conviction is what people dislike about her.
