We should be able to get transparency regardless of whether the conclusions are good, bad, or even potentially devastating. How bad must they be if the leader of the party thinks releasing them would be a "distraction"? The decision to not release the report indicates there's enough in there that the leadership believes it will be divisive.

It pains me that I'm starting to get more comfortable with holding back my limited funds, and to give a lot more attention to the young Democrats who've decided to challenge the status quo, and the old and entrenched.
