Sanford Affair e-mails

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Since we seem to be having a contest on creating Sanford threads, I'm starting a new one rather than adding this to an existing thread.

The State newspaper has emails purportedly between him and Maria (who has children of her own).

Why did the newspaper sit on these? Were they actually trying to respect the man's privacy and didn't think it was important for the public to know? If so then I'm very impressed with them.

More likely they were waiting until they could get corroboration of their source, which Sanford admitting he was having an affair with an Argentina certainly helped.
