What strikes me as odd is this..........
If someone gets found out that they are part of a congressional press agency and they think there is nothing wrong with it why leave? It just shows that they knew it was wrong and a conflict of interest and most likely broke some ethic's rule they are required to abide by.
On the face of it, you may well be right. If the accusation is garbage, then why have such a sudden and extreme reaction?
Possibly she was somebody else entirely and didn't want her identity revealed, but that would just be the same thing by a different name.
My guess is that the accusation is correct, she was outed and decided to cover her tracks. Nevertheless, her contributions remain and are available for anyone with an interest in text analysis to compare the content and style of the two identities.
