I hadn't heard this. Thanks.
Aside from a logistical standpoint (needing more people to handle press inquiries and so forth), how does national and international attention impede an investigation? If that was their sincere motive, well, too bad - plenty of ordinary citizens get thrust into the spotlight without their consent and they seem to handle it okay. I have a tendency to distrust this Administration's motives (I wonder why!). I'm glad to have been proved wrong in this case - if it is indeed for the reason Kadath stated.
