@danielbsmith Why not before? A good blackmailer knows there's value in holding on to blackmail.
The DOJ didn't feel they had enough to indict, and the State of Florida did squat, so maybe it's not enough to bring legal charges but it's enough to bring political charges. After all, they're running an impeachment inquiry without evidence.
Years ago, Rubio was on the ropes because of a credit card scandal, but the state GOP chair pled guilty rather than testify to what Rubio had scammed.
