I know, I know, the whole lawsuit thingy. I don’t know the specifics of everything involved, but there had to be some way she could have stood and fought instead of cutting and running, and writing two books and starring on a reality show.
The way I understand it, you’re being sued because you’re a government official and you have to answer it. You beat one, get the next one dismissed (after you’ve gone through a certain amount of discovery), but there’s another and another and another. At five- or six-digits a pop, pretty soon that adds up. And it all has to come out of your pocket or from donors.
