Timely fashion meaning that they should have finished it before she was nominated? How the hell were they supposed to know McCain was going to pick her as his running mate? Investigations take as long as they take. She was under investigation by people in her own party, as well as the other party, and rather suddenly and unexpectedly, she got named as McCain's running mate.

The only thing that's political about this investigation is the way she and her people are stonewalling it, and the way they are trying to make it look like it's a Democratic initiative instead of what it really is - a bipartisan initiative.
