Hiring Freeze exemptions

The Felcher administration today released documents that they said showed current auditor Crit LuEllen signing off on Merit System jobs. Crit says they were exemptions from the hiring freeze which gripped much of Patton's second term.

My question is, why would Ms. LouEllen pursue these allegations of merit system abuses with such vigor if she knew she had done the same thing?

Makes no sense to me. I want to see the documents.
