FWIW, here is my take on Aunt Loretta - she already sang to protect her own ass. Here is the thing, LL sold her soul for a SCOTUS appointment, plain and simple.  She is dirty, no doubt, and she was destined to replace RBG.  Remember, of all the players, she is the ONLY one who knew, all along, that one day she would be sitting before Congress, under oath.  You can slime your way to a SCOTUS appointment, but no way to get around the confirmation hearings. As such, she stayed out of the day-to-day reindeer games and only got called on for behind the scenes, out of congressional eyes big-gun actions.  While the other players need to circle the wagons and protect each other to protect themselves, she is not in that gang.  Nobody is going to protect her and she has no reason now to protect them.  She is on her own. Whether or not HRC won, LL's SCOTUS dreams died the minute that tarmac story broke, that would never fly in a confirmation hearing.  And now with the Clintons out of power, she has no future and has absolutely nothing to lose. I'm convinced she made a deal to save herself and told all.
