Best explanation I've heard is that WH lawyers said that if anyone, ANYONE, other than POTUS got near this they would be in violation of ethics rules and in serious trouble. That's why it was just POTUS, and why it was dumped to the GOP site, which was in no way ready for the traffic.
With you. Nobody told us to stop thinking, just because we're enthusiastic and patriotic. I still think WH lawyers shut down the attack on the media over ethics rule violation concerns. The only one who could do it without getting in trouble was apparently POTUS, and that is what he did, and he kept it on the low-down by dropping it on the GOP site. Just a bit of a miscalculation, not a disaster at all. There was still a lot of impact.
