I'm actually not sure what you were pointing to with the timing. It certainly doesn't help the GOP, Foley's party.
I am as disgusted as the next person and was just trying to offer some explanation as to why some may have known for a while and hadn't acted on their knowledge yet.
The information came from Foley, but clearly he knew somebody was going to out him. Evidently his description of what he did wasn't very accurate either.

Actually, what I was getting at was, it hasn't been released for a year, but all the sudden gets brought up now?
What it tells me is that the Republicans were trying to do was bury it until after the election OR they would have released it well before to avoid this coming to a head at this crucial time.
This is probably the worst time for it to actually be released, and I highly doubt they did it willingly.
