Before this statement was issued, I didn't think we should be chasing them down to make an example of them[1]. Now that she is dishonest and trying to brush everything aside as 'business as usual', I am changing my stance. She needs to go. Not to make an example of her, but because we should not tolerate such dishonesty and smugness in our federal court system.
I've had a similar reaction to the Ortiz statement. Its self-aggrandizing tone of righteousness leaves me increasingly offended by her apparent lack of integrity and empathy in the ongoing pursuit of influence and power. This reveals such a striking contrast: Aaron's choices indicate he valued both integrity and empathy very highly.
Completely agree. There's no place for people like her in our society. I hope this kills her career, but I doubt it. Even if he gets fired she still will be corrupting the system in some capacity with her influence. But at least she won't end up with a job like Marsha Blackburn.
I think the collective HN IQ has dropped by about 40 points this week with all of these moronic statements.
She should get fired for doing exactly what she was put in to office to do? IE: Follow the federal sentencing guidelines like she should? In no way was there ever going to be some 30 year sentence. Six months maximum is not over reach.
