Don't think there was any explanation at the time as to why they parted company....
Onion address the point and the press report certainly does not explain, so not a good idea to invent a reason and report it publicly to try and undermine a considered article that does not suit your politics. You then try a justify your invention by suggesting that only you know what the rest of us dont know but decline to respond to requests that you reveal you sources at the airport or Esken, or even confirm that you have any actual sources.
