because they perhaps couldn't fast enough/before the elections (here I am optimistic, if you can use such a word in this case).
And if the elections changed Congress, the whole ballgame would change -- funding, investigations, and much, much more.

With all that you've mentioned, how could they really get very far with this scheme?
I'm pretty much dumbstruck that they'd really be serious.
But, you know... they underestimate me,and I probably underestimate them.
