Why she feels compelled to tape him and make it public is another story.
She already made that public, she was asked to record him. So just look at whoever is going to be buying the team, that's probably who started this. No one does things like that without some significant financial motivation.

The top 5% of the economy makes a bit more than the bottom 75% put together
The middle 5- 25% also make less than the top 5% (they're each about 1/3 the distribution).
This 5% are not generally-speaking supermen in the entrepreneurial or productive sense. They just have assets working for them, the higher you go up in the income curve, the more this is true.
Even the GOP is going to have to admit this basic fact of reality eventually.
