Well if you stand to make bank off the shenanigans and are getting hush money, and the threat of violence heaped upon you by entities who's soul is darker than the oil they kill for, would you run your mouth? Maybe on your death bed, when you see how powerful the media apparatus and its stooges are at shaping public opinion even when blatant lies are being spat, you kind of have to pick your battles carefully. It's a jungle full of landmines and even some killer ballet moves won't save you.
