Steffen says that on 2/8 Mosk told him the article would run in two or three days. It ran that night an hour after MD4Bush posted the
Freepmails.

I seem to remember that there was only about a ten minute difference in the original WaPo posting and the relevant Freepmail dump on open pages of FR. Even stretching the timeline to one hour is a feeble attempt by WaPO to create more "distance" from Md4Bush.

There was about a 20-minute difference. The FReepmail dump on the TIPP Tracking poll post occurred at 11:14:48PM. The original WaPo article was posted at 11:34:15 PM.

I don't remember if we ever determined the exact time the WaPo posted the story on its website.

I agree. That posting of those freepmails on the forum right before the article came out is what mystifies me the most. Why do it when they already had copies given to them months earlier? Posting them actually makes it look more like collusion and CYA, not less.

Someone also needs to find out who this 'intermediary' to MD4Bush is the WashPost talks about, that gave them the copies of the emails and the log-in information. Bet there is no intermediary, and if there is find out his association with MD4Bush.

Also, the Matthew Mosk said he logged on 3 times to confirm the emails were real. Why 3 times, shouldn't once have been enough? Mosk knew FR could track IP addresses, so he couldn't lie about logging in 3 times. That suggests to me that his logins to 'verify' the emails is a smokescreen.

It all hinges on the IP addresses to know how many players there are and who did what and when.

I also wonder why Steffen was told about the article when the article was going to out him? Seems Mosk played Steffen possibly? I am curious as to the details of those conversations.
