” make the money she needs to pay legal bills for 15 unwarranted “ethics” investigations, all of which she handily won. The legal bills remain. “

I don’t get this.
Why can she not go after these people and sue to recover the expenses they put her through?
They filed the complaints simply to cause her to incur legal expenses; she should have recourse against them.

If there were recourse for frivolous lawsuits,
there would be less frivolous lawsuits,
and lawyers wouldn’t profit from them.

Lawyers make the tort laws.

I agree. We need legal reform and tort reform. We should adopt a loser pays rule like they have in most other countries. But as it stands now, she can’t sue to recover those bills. She is an honest and fiscally conservative person. She and her family can’t stand to have those huge bills hanging over them. Now she will be able to pay them off...and be free to attack Obama without fear of additional complaints. Good for her.
