The Mexican government has as vested an interest in America's good will at the polls as our motley assortment of politicians do.

MAJ Dallas D. Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:26:33 -0500 2014-11-03T15:26:33-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/did-the-fact-that-elections-are-just-two-days-away-have-something-to-do-with-the-release-of-the-marine-from-a-mexican-jail?n=310003&urlhash=310003 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br />My opinion is that 100% of the things the current administration does is about the elections (the one today and all others). Thy are more interested in themselves and their cronies staying in office that what is best for the country. Plain and simple.<br /><br />I have no doubt, at all, that the release of SGT Tahmooressi was timed to get favorable "air time" for the Democrats before the election. I believe, however, that it may have backfired on the administration because it simply served to highlight that they have done nothing about it to this point. COL Jean (John) F. B.

In this case, the judge ordered his release. So no, it is a coincidence.
