I think this release of transcript data is to defuse the "didn't sign the form 180" attack. It's slightly embarrasing, but doesn't mention Kerry's original dishonorable discharge that was changed to honorable years later.
We should not let up on this, because he will try to run again (although, if he got the nomination over Hillary!, it's much less likely he'd win).
My guess is that the new reports, this and the 180, are being launched by the real rats themselves (Clintoons)to discourage anyone who might want sKerry to run instead of HC.
Poor poor scrappleface. How soon his own people have turned against him.
