I am confused as to the point of order. Would 2017 not be after the election in November of 2016? Yes, it was revealed before the inauguration during the new administration honeymoon/hangover, but it would have been much more damaging to have revealed it in late October of 2016. Imagine if the FBI was publicly testifying in late October about both Secretary Clinton's email practices and links between then-candidate President Trump and the Russians. What am I missing?
