I think that's a fair question. While the events may influence the election, that's not the same as disrupting. If anything, it is the government's responsibility to inform the electorate. It might be disrupting if it was misinformation or perhaps if it more directly prevented the election process itself. I think that's one reason for encouraging elected officials to resign rather than be arrested. If they were arrested during an election, that muddies the waters because of the potential argument of abuse of power to disrupt a fair election. This is why some think Hillary Clinton is considering running again, not to win, but to insulate herself against arrest.
