Why do you think Joseph McCarthy retained creditability with the American people even though he never made public this list of Communists working in the State Department?

I believe he didn't release it because he thought he didn't need an explanation. When he lost his backing, many who were really against the US were free to do as they wanted. He discredited his own cause with his excuses, until he lost all credibility. He overplayed his claims and finally revealed himself to be a form of a liar.
