There were a bunch of pharmaceutical cases where Ortiz used her discretion in favor of the defendants. > Perhaps there wasn't good enough evidence to pursue them? Perhaps. > I really don't think she's an idiot... I know we're honor-bound not to like her, but we're calling her an idiot because we have no proof to the contrary? What...?

    Which pharma cases? I noticed the if. It's still a rather bold statement. "Soandso is an idiot." "Do you have any proof?" "If they think this, then they're an idiot. Have you provided evidence to the contrary?" It's like saying Stephen Hawking is an idiot if he thinks the holocaust never happened. Can you provide me with evidence that Stephen Hawking thinks the holocaust happened? Is it really okay to call someone an idiot on a conditional if you have zero proof?
