21. The fact that she didn't immediately recuse herself

Thu Mar 21, 2024, 01:25 PM

Mar 2024

Tells you what her intentions are.

There is no argument to be made that it was ethical for her to accept he case. None.

She could have just recused herself but didn't.

She's been commanded to stop a trial at any and all costs and has agreed.
