The problem here is Gillibrand was way too eager to lead the charge in calling for Al's blood without giving him due process. What is so ironic, and eggregious and damning, about this eagerness to pass judgment is the fact schumer, gillibrand, harris, & watren (among others) are lawyers. This is my beef with them, and to this day they've not come out to admit their mistake nor apologize for it. InGillibrand's case she doubled down on it and still vehemently defends she did the right thing. She also cast shade on Bill & Hillary throwing them under the bus by saying Bill should have resigned when he was POTUS. They helped gillibrand byrepeatedly stumping or her.
This pattern of behavior not only shows bad judgment but reveals an opportunistic person willing to harm others for political expediency. Gillibrand had better stop her ambitions of becoming president as given what she did she will never be one.
