He'd probably play better to them if he just admitted it.

I can't tell if they didn't expect fallout like this, or if the files are so incriminating, even after redactions, that this fallout is still preferable. We'll probably never know, but I'd bet on the latter.

We've known for years that Trump regularly sexually assaults women and has for his whole adult life. What would confirming that he did so on a few more occasions in the 90s change?

Because in this case they probably weren't women.
