Mainstream media (including fox) is spinning by saying she fired him today. Look at the title of this story from the local news in her district.
Well if my theory that he was blackmailing her is correct, then his arrest would have broken the hold he had on her so she could go ahead and fire him. Not excusing her for anything but there has to be a reason she hasn’t done so until now, and while she is corrupt, she can’t be that stupid.
