I can see where she's coming from. If she settled for a million dollars but it stipulated in the settlement the only thing she could say about the settlement is that she can't talk about the settlement then you know what she's going to say.

She could've easily explained as much, unless it was a clause that she couldn't say that the only thing she was allowed to say was that she couldn't say anything, then maybe, okay. Usually not how it works though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Don't forget trump is behind it.

Why is that legal but a bribe isn't?

I'm writing a book and shamelessly promoting it by going on a dozen talk shows, how DARE you ask me a question!

She could have simply answered that she thought it was best just to put it behind her or something. She has such a Persecution Complex that she gets too uptight about things.

The outcome determines the legality. The settlement silenced her. She didn't break any laws by keeping silent. Where as If I pay off a judge ...that is illegal and becomes a bribe not a settlement. Bribes don't have legal backing either. Where as the settlement is a lawful contract.

which was the point of the question that Meredith Viera asked her as well and got the same answer. "If you made this about you being silenced, you losing your freedom of speech, you being persecuted, you being treated unfairly, you being attacked, then why settle the suit instead of proceeding to a public trial where you could explain how you'd been wronged?"

The question went to her motivation, not to the details of settlement. The question however pretty much gives us the answer: those claims were trumped up bullshit.
