I’m guessing it is a Republican and they are trying to decide whether to release it now or wait until the person gets the nomination say in October of next year. Of course the risk they run is that person might not get the nomination then it becomes just a who cares story.
If it was about any of the top Dems there would be no soul searching the story would just be spiked period.
Let’s not forget the FBI files that some how found there way to the First Ladies office during the Clinton administration? Information that could now be valuable!
