There seems to be a whole lot of downside to this Ford bitch; so much that I don't think the dems as a whole wanted to release this letter.
I'm beginning to think there is a rogue dem clique (centered around Harris, Booker, Warren, Schiff?) who are undermining party consensus.
Hence Q's drop that a promise of no more Kav hits if declas order is pulled back. The dem bid was actually a promise to get the clique under control. Damage is done, so no sense taking them up on the offer.
It doesn't seem like Ford was ready for the publicity and she's taking a lot of people down with her. More like a panic move by a threatened group of dems without party authorization to me.
