    That’s my point. If money was the motivation, then take the money and own what comes next. It’s the utter shame that’s puzzling. Take Mitch McConnell. His motivation is power and money. He did disgustingly unfair things in Congress every single working day. After which he went home and slept like a baby. No shame there.

    But this woman, like McConnell, did something nasty, possibly for money, possibly for revenge for losing, and has a sense of shame about it. Hence the hiding. What’s the point? The day after was always going to land. Own your nasty mess or don’t engage in it.

      I mean I highly doubt it’s just money at this point, it’s much more likely to be a combination of things.

      I fully expect her sob story to eventually be that she didn’t want to do any of this… which makes sense, because the deserved punishment is literally execution.
