thanks very much for the link
I have come to believe (and this could be wrong! but anyway) that these people that “call a news conference” weeks in the future.... have little or nothing... and are just trying to shake down their target (who is obviously very vulnerable on this subject) for $$
if they really had anything, they’d just announce it right away (or later in the same day, just give a couple hours time for reporters to arrive is all) like is quite normal for newsmakers to do
