Now, sure, there are instances when the gov't asks to delay the publication of a story, or certain details of a story, for valid objective reasons (military operations, police investigations, etc.). But no one is making the claim that national security or FBI investigations would have been hampered by the release of this info.

Where is your proof that FBI was even involved in this let alone ask for this to be squashed? Most of us knew when this came out that this was an attempted smear campaign and if there was one iota of truth to it, the media would have exposed it. After all, even MSM loves a bombshell story and the very fact that they skipped out on this means it was and is a nothingburger.

Btw, if this impacted anyone adversely, where are the lawsuits?
