i can't even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they're not quiet now once they get called out
Why? America is the country of fuck around and find out. There where no consequences, no prison time, no perp walk.. there was no find out.. so by extension.. there must not have been a fuck around. It must have been a lot of Dems screetching about stuff but no actual smoke or fire.
