To be fair, this is just a reasonable strategy on the part of the Clinton campaign. To my knowledge there hasn't yet been anything particularly damaging found in these emails. If I were them, i'd have done the same thing with respect to timing though, it just makes sense when you have a pre-commitment from an adversary to release on a particular date.

I mean, I guess it's a little bit underhanded, but only just barely. If there were something significant in the emails then it still would have been reported on, but as far as I can tell, there wasn't.
