Y'all are alleging that it was phrased as an ultimatum. I'm not so sure that's the case. Proposing an option of resigning is not the same thing as "I will definitely resign".

The person who benefits from your doubt, _and_ could resolve your doubt, chooses not to.

"Chooses not to" is so disingenuous it's hard to take you seriously.

She cannot and will not expose that information without inviting all sorts of litigation. This is not a case where she can just "choose" to release that information.

If she were making a legal case, then I gather it could harm her case to release this information to the public.

So, she might be choosing not to for this reason.
