It was technically 2 threads:

According to the FR timestamps, MD4BUSH posted to Thread 1 at 11:05PM, and again at 11:13PM. The difference between the two responses: the first didn't have any underlining or emphasis; the second did, highlighting what I'd characterize as the portions of the e-mail most unfavorable to NCPAC. He or she then posted to Thread 2 at 11:14PM.

The original FR thread on the Washington Post story was posted at 11:34PM. It probably actually hit the WaPo's website before then, but I don't know for sure.

All times are Eastern.

Uh, oh. If MD4 first put this up at 11:05, yet the WaPo story occurred no later than 11:34 on 2/8, there is no way that WaPo could have gotten their information from the public MD4 post. How could they have written the story, edited it, and published on their web site in 29 minutes? They didn't! WaPo had the NCPAC e-mails prior to public posting by MD4. The public posting was just a cover. So, either MD4 is a WaPo insider, or someone there hacked NCPAC's private e-mail.
