> Hours before the election, Kerry will sign his form 180 ...

Not gonna happen, for three reasons:

1. It would be seen for what it was, a meaningless ploy,
since there wouldn't be time to follow up.

2. It could reveal info that would prove Kerry is
legally ineligible to serve as POTUS (should he
win the election).

3. It could reveal info that will cause him to lose his
next senatorial election, if not face an immediate recall
(should he lose on 02 Nov).

And he won't sign the 180 any earlier, either. Suppose
he did so on 28 Oct. There might not be time for the
USN to release the docs and for the honest press to
analyze them ...

... but current and former Navy people with now-privileged
info would be immediately at liberty to blab about it.

I knew that. I was just stirring the pot a little.

If Kerry wins, the records will probably be released sometime between Nov-03 and Jan-19, if only to prevent their destruction after Jan-20.

No problem...we'll just write the Navy a letter and tell them to have them ready!

Never discount the speed of a well pissed off admin clerk! While I was on active duty in the Marine Corps, I had a Staff Sgt. who had pissed me off transfered to Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, within 36 hours. I am sure that there is a clerk in the records center ready to release the information when & if form 180 is signed within a few monuments of it.
