It's not about the standard of guilt in court, it's about political capital and effective rhetoric. There are so many cases where the Trump administration has flagrantly violated rule of law. Why would we waste time fighting the

If it can be credibly demonstrated that she cancelled the hearing and escorted the defendant out a back door within seconds of sending the officers away, that she had every intent of proceeding with the hearing before meeting with the offic

The charges against her are not about her behavior during her court, they're about what happened once the court was adjourned and the defendant was starting to leave. She successfully defended the process within her own courtroom and i
