I wouldn't be so quick to give her an out -- whether alcohol or age (as some on this thread have done).
This woman worked for Romney at some point from what I've heard. Trump has had a mole in his woodpile now for quite some time that continued even after other staff shakeups.
This might be a bit deeper than some may give it credit for.
“This might be a bit deeper than some may give it credit for.”
No doubt, but my thinking is it could have gone on but for the incident of mention. Ol’ man booze nipped it in the bud, and we’re better off rid of the individual.
As my wife said “She would have gone on subtly passing information to a determined MSM leftist enemy through the election cycle”. One less leaker, but now she’s going to be all over the CNN’s, NBC’s, and ABC’s, etc. denigrating the President regardless unless she’s sued for breach of her position as keeper of the secrets. Her signature will be found on non disclosure agreement(s).
Certainly some leftist is salivating to sign her to a book contract.
