Warren went with it. Whether before or after the hire she went with it because it would boost her own rating.

I don't think you have ANY evidence to justify your speculation. I've also never heard of a single instance where she received any benefit for this consideration.
Reality is she's extremely smart and passionate which makes her a threat. Put this political smear in context of her significant career and it's insignificant.
