She demanded responsibility for every small detail in the office had under her control. She then signed off on financials that paid literally $$millions of bonuses to people that had not earned them and tries to say that part of the office was not her responsibility? I do not think so.
Her crime was not in voicing honest opinions, it was in becoming so angry and bitter that she tried to prevent an office and the people in it from doing their jobs, thereby damaging the careers of people who had worked loyally for her for many years.
