I was surprised to see that happen. In fact I feel sorry for her in a
way. If this was the lesser of two or more evils for her, I have to
wonder what the other options really were.

If such people do exist, does Durova believe she has anything left to
lose by naming them...
or, if they don't exist, does Durova believe she has anything left to
lose by making it clear that there were actually no endorsers on the
grassy knoll...

Maybe she's already done one of these two things and I missed it.
