Are you saying she is shielded from that possibility by being a "private citizen"? If so, kindly direct the uninitiated to this wonderful statute or rule.
But to a degree, she may very well be shielded because the AG determines if the complaint can go forward. Then again it MAY be investigated after discovery but since the e-mail dump blew up in their faces, are they going to try and sneak something by the transom? Possible, but very unlikely given the changes enacted in January 2010 to address compensation and also to make any public dissemination of a complain filed will be disallowed and ended. I beleive she is just hedging her bets while at at the same time tweeking the elites and media at teh same time by not playing their game.
(d) The attorney general shall review each complaint filed, to determine whether it is properly completed and contains allegations which, if true, would constitute conduct in violation of this chapter. The attorney general may require the complainant to provide additional information before accepting the complaint. If the attorney general determines that the allegations in the complaint do not warrant an investigation, the attorney general shall dismiss the complaint with notice to the complainant and the subject of the complaint.
