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.

Well it was pretty clear that the Republicans didn't want report it. Seriously, if you want to go around hiding a story like that behind closed doors, you really don't have the benefit of when it was released, now do you, unless you decided to do the right thing and release it yourself.
The Republicans in this sense only have themselves to blame. They should have released it well before midterms and had this blowover.
