Not that I'm adverse to conspiracy theories (I have a number of my own, including being the subject of a campaign contribution sting ;-) and not that it doesn't make me a little queasy defending the FBI, but has anyone considered that if the FBI had rock solid evidence don't you think that they might have discussed whether to hold off until after the election and then have decided that it was in the interests of an informed electorate that they should proceed with their investigation (not to mention that they might have compromised their case by waiting).
