And I'd imagine a successful prosecution will render her completely beyond political reproach and put her on the fast track to higher legal leadership (which she must already be on to be assigned this case). So, if nothing else, an HN angle here is that the outrage of 3 months ago is completely undone and meaningless. Moreso than even the common cynicism of that time would have charged. I have no basis to object to her assignment to this case in isolation (I would imagine that she's perfectly competent in prosecuting a case with less moral subtlety), beyond complaining that in a just world she should have at least fallen too far out of favour to be assigned this case, and that there must be other US Attorneys in line who could handle it at least as well. But it would be public-opinion suicide for any tech causes to widely protest someone who will soon become a public hero.
