It was all a preplanned setup to fool the morons on the Left. And it will likely work with most of them as CNN and MSNBC, after they finish popping champagne, hammer the issue for weeks to come.

"Jami"? I can't take a Jami seriously.
Reason why it is a mistake?
Because the Dems will claim they were prevented from providing their refuting evidence by Trump. It provides the excuse to continue the charade.
This of course is the proper course of action.We do not have two governments working here, only one.A Congressional committee released its findings. It was not what the title says a "GOP" memo but a memo released by the Committee itself.
Taking advice from a Bush team member about how to handle a public image is not a good plan.
