Unfortunately for many, the Republicans won't be given the benefit of the doubt. The House could be lost based upon a presumption of collusion that may be wrong. I suppose the Democrats won't care how they won as long as they gain power but, in my mind if this story was sat on until it was believed it would inflict the most damage to the Republicans that goes beyond poor ethics. It is treason.

Treason? Sheesh, talk about melodrama. What about freedom of speech?
The news business is a pretty competitive racket so I doubt that any media outlet would have sat on this story in the hopes of inflicting the most damage. We all know they are biased one way or the other, but we also know that money trumps all political allegiances. If ABC broke the story (I don't even know if they did) then it wasn't for petty political points, it was to make money. I have no doubt they got the news out as fast as possible so they could trump all the other guys.
Funny thing -- I even know you are trying to change the subject but I still let you do it.
