Dear Source:
Cecile deJongh is (was?) employed by a wealthy off-islander with lots of money who, apparently, has broken the law. Ms. deJongh was not involved in these illegal activities. We have no information about whether or not she was aware what her state side employer was involved in. She has apparently chosen not to make a statement about it prior to the election. Perhaps she hopes to keep the focus on her husband's abilities, rather than her employer's wrong doing. Especially this close to the election.
The rich often think they are above the law, and sadly, this some times turns out to be true. That did not happen here. Ms. deJongh's employer has been charged with a crime. Ms. deJongh has not.
