I've heard the arguments about how Woodward should have released the info sooner but given that he did not a dribble of these tapes coming out for the next few weeks until the election cannot be a bad thing.. I haven't seen the new ones yet but apparently he had Trump randomly calling him in the middle of the night to discuss things like Black Lives Matter and Nuclear threats.

If he had released them at the time, Trump would've quashed this and trashed Bob Woodward.
I agree. And I think this is much better tactically as far as harm to trump. It would have likely had very little impact and he wouldn't have had any ot the conversations after that one such as about Black Lives Matter. It is touchy to argue that being how many people died...
It is what it is.
