I think they looked for an excuse to resign and they looked in their bag of tricks to see..."hmm what else have we been doing that we could resign over?"

The fact that they are resigning is alarming. It's made the news. The reason they've given for resigning is questionable. Any other year they could have gotten the MSM to bury the story if they wanted.

They have to resign though but they won't tell the public the truth so they'll go with this.
