Because she is at least smart enough NOW to know that her self-serving made-up CYA letter as she was exiting the government and documenting it days after the “meeting” means that no one with an IQ above 3 is falling for it... and now she needs not just a lawyer...but some high priced inside the swamp lawyers to write a letter ... because she (can’t) won’t be giving any public interviews or speeches anytime soon.
