That's a good point. Those fcuks were doing everything they could, legal or otherwise, to stop him.
Let me clarify what you said, so I am sure to understand. When you said sit on that until the midterms, did you mean until just before the midterms? Or sometime after?
I can see waiting until, but not after. That would make it look like his name is on the list, whether it is or not. There are the willfully ignorant out there who would lap up the media pablum if they went to town on him not releasing it until after the midterms.
