I read the other day that Comey wanted to come out with some of this before the election, but the Obama white house told him not to. They said that without it being formal process, it would not be a good thing to do. I can find it if you want, but coming out early on something this big and this serious, I think would be a mistake for any professional. I think we the public and through the press, are the ones in a sense doing our own unclassified "investigation" of this, and that's what you're seeing. This occurs for a lot of reasons, good and bad. But I think the most important reason we should be OK with it, is that it keeps pressure and visibility high on what amounts to be a potentially HUGE issue of national security that may go all the way to Trump. Normally we'd say "all the way to the WH", but with Flynn in hot water, that looks to be forgone conclusion. Yes, the actual legal process has to be done correctly and its a slow process. And the very LAST thing they shoudl prematurely release would be any criminal information...that should come through a charge first, and discussion later. So you won't seek that info until they have enough information to convince the right folks that a case could be made and won. Then they go public.
