I can't summon up much sympathy for her. From what I understand it is the covering up and not cooperating that is nipping at her heels. If she genuinely didn't do anything wrong, or even a minor mistake, she would have been far ahead to admit it, take the fine and move on.

Typical liberal, she fed into her power-need and convinced herself the rules and expectations of honesty and good faith didn't have to apply to her.

Thing is, she was being pursued for something ("insider trading") that is not wrong, and that is based in terrible law. Anyone who values liberty, capitalism and the free market SHOULD have sympathy for her.

Yup...... covering up, a natural reaction, is what got her. But come on, it's not like lying to a Grand Jury or being impeached - or walking away with the millions that the men walked away with from enron and worldcom. I feel for her.
Just the sympathy factor in me I guess. We ALL screw up sometimes. I don't think she intentionally tried to save a couple hundred thousand by knowing she was screwing up. But, you're right...... you can't cover it up when the Feds start talking to you.
