She had to know that something along those lines would happen. Why did she even bother to write the book if she won’t stand by what she wrote?
Honestly, I think....she must have weighed the potential of a large multimillion dollar book deal against her potential future career as DNC chairperson or subperson. (if that is not a racist statement)
What she did was very, very smart, IMO.
On one hand, she is affiliated with Hillary and HRC is either dead meat candidate-wise or is likely to be swept out along with all of her loyalists. This of course might or might not happen; but if it DOES happen, Donna becomes as yesterday’s news as it’s possible to be: She turns into used food, persona non grata, scapegoat, shunned, a paradigm of avoidance. “She’ll never work in that town again”. So, if there IS to be a DNC cleansing, and this is very typical, more likely than not in Marxist regimes, her future is either: a: make $100K or $200K or $300K as DNC Chairperson; b: make zero if that fails to to come to fruition, or c: make $10 million writng a book. Option b: in particular, she falls off a cliff of relevance and becomes a total zero. So...she decides to embrace outcome “C” and launches it with gusto. Easy choice, in the end. But gutsy.
Now the trick is how to not end up dead. Answer: retract, retract, retract. Dems are exceptionally good at this. Deny on day 2 what you said on day #1 and deny on day #3 what you said on day #2 and deny on day #4 what you said on day #3, but affirm on day #5 what you said on day #2 and clarify that what you said on day #4 really only applies to day #2 but has been taken out of context.
As the “DNC waited to be hacked, didn’t get hacked, didn’t rely upon the Trump dossier, never told Comey, but HAD TO have told Comey, never spoke to the Russians etc etc etc narrative slips into utter blithering meaninglessness, it goes away with the passage of time, she has her book deal, a huge surge of concentrated publicity, and she rides off into the sunset with a huge check and gets away from the criminally insane Dems who might, just might, get themselves indicted. But who are engaged in a many-month mud wrestling contest she wants no part of.
IMHO, she weighed her future options, burned her bridge to the DNC in a flaming blaze of glory, and went out to great advantage.
If this scenario is true, she’s a helluva lot smarter than I ever gave her credit for.
