I see your point. Someone so loyal that they will do anything even to the extreme, for the other person/country/company.
I wonder if that is why the ‘friends’ who knew her line about her being gossipy and wanting to “take conversations to the porch” was mentioned? It just kind of an odd statement to make by ‘friends’ towards a suddenly, violently lost pal. Would’nt you mention how much she loved her kids; what a proficient worker she was; how she kept it all balanced...but instead, some nameless ‘friends’ can only add that such a connected DC insider, was “gossipy.”
That makes me think that some ‘damage’ control is being done; like someone(s) knew what she had access to; had seen; had learned...and now they throwing the warning out there to anyone she might have gossiped to.
It fits with the late Friday of a BIG news day drop too (only those interested would go looking for it. Like those who had a glass of wine on the porch with Ashley.
