The findings came out, nobody really cared. Everyone knew she pressured the guy to fire the trooper, but legally she can fire anyone she wants for any reason, or even no reason as the position strictly "serves at the pleasure of the governor". So, she violated the ethics code but no one cares at all. Her radical-right followers don't care, the left doesn't care because they knew all along what the outcome would be. There is no punishment for violating ethics - and a ticket with 0 ethics in the first place can't get any lower on the ethics scale. No fireworks, just another blip. Well, none of the above happened.
