'former officials'

... it isn't courageous and won't mean anything until CURRENT officials do the same, en masse. They're mostly too scared of losing their cushy positions. Cowards.

Fair point -- she had the courage and 100% deserves credit for that! I wish more had her strength.

This is why I feel compelled to defend Republicans and conservatives who do the right thing. In part because there are not enough of them doing the right thing in a clear manner.
