The Venona info. was gained only after the breakup of USSR.
When the Venona Papers became public, the left still maintained the innocence of the Rosenbergs in the face of proof to the contrary. You know the left can't face the truth if it disagrees with their agenda.

The Venona info. was gained only after the breakup of USSR.

America had the VENONA information in the late 1940s--it was based on codebreaking efforts.

Its existence was only disclosed in the 1980s, and the actual decrypts were released only after the collapse of the USSR.

VENONA, due to the nature of the cryptographic break, was only going to be of very limited use--we shouldn't have worried about letting it go public in the 1940s.
