The story on cnn.com about Gov. Moosekill's resignation has a quote from her
press liaison. Would you be so kind as to parse it for excellence?

When the former Republican vice presidential candidate returned to
Alaska after the campaign and pressed her agenda, "she found…
resistance, and she found as she looked up more and more that state
time and resources were being just wasted with just frivolous
ethics complaints coming in, and FOIA (Freedom of Information Act)
requests and lawsuits — but to an extraordinary extent, and from
literally those doing opposition research," spokeswoman Meghan
Stapleton told CNN's Suzanne Malveaux on The Situation Room Friday.

To me, a terrible writer, this statement just seems so just pointlessly
wordy, and it's so literally self-serving, in a literal sense. What do you
'think'?
