I can call you but I can't force you to listen. You listen only if you are willing to.

Again, assuming what she said is true, I don't blame her for not going to mgmt. They'd have tried to push her out and then ruin her chance for succeeding somewhere else. A lawsuit was the only avenue open to her.
Maybe she set him up when she went back to Fox from CNN? I don't have a clue. But that isn't really the issue - he either did what she has alleged or he didn't. Without tapes, she can't prove a thing and is therefore stupid to have filed the suit. Of course the wildest conspiracy theorists may have McAuliffe paying her off to do this. And from what I've seen of him, I wouldn't put it past him.
