I saw a story on Techmeme yesterday where the husband of the attorney supposedly said a plea was offered of six months. I'm not sure if the story was true but, if it was, it would put the story in a different light.
Most likely she's working with her crisis PR team to figure out how to get in front of the issue. Which would involve a complete housecleaning of the office in MA.

As that article points out she is a political appointee and as such, is a legitimate focus for political outrage.
I just want to get the story straight to know where I stand.
