Why would you ignore those facts while assailing Candace as a storyteller?  

If you had worked for Barry Sherman, do you think your job might be on the line if, instead of complying with his wishes in the Joe Volpe funding scandal, you had reported his conduct?

The failure to voluntarily rat out criminals and cheaters, while lamentable, is not yet a criminal offense, and there are often very good reasons that a person may decide to zip it up in those circumstances.
