how about, in coming hours even? If they thought it was next week...I don't think they'd be making an announcement this far ahead.
They would to beat the press. The press has known for two days and was asked to hold the information. I suspect whichever media entity had it gave the government two days before it would be published.
It makes me think of the Denzel Washington Bruce Willis movie that takes place in NY - pretty good flick about how these cells operate.
They're announcing it today to knock Freeh/Clinton off the headlines. /tinfoil
