I do not feel bad for this lady AT ALL, as humorous as this is. She should quit with the rest of her office.

    lol…asking the judge to hold her in contempt so she could grab a few hours of sleep for a change. For me that would be a sign that I’m not going to work there any longer. She should get out and when they can’t find anyone to argue the government’s side justice will then prevail.

        The only way to turn around what professional reputation this job is branding her with would be to not just leave but publicly burn the bridge as she goes. Just moving on for “Greener pastures” is too soft, she’d have to make a stand about how this is unacceptable and has been for a while, how she can’t stay silent anymore and vigorously seeks to oppose the regime. Trouble there is, the longer she stays, especially after it’s known that she doesn’t LIKE the job, the more fake that turn will look. It’ll still probably come off as fake, especially if her actions don’t commit to a follow through, but it’s the only chance.

        Otherwise the bootlickers will see her as a failure and the sane would see her as a collaborator. And honestly, good. Her career SHOULD be ruined, her future SHOULD be bleak. Fascists shouldn’t be allowed to just give a wide eyed “I’m sowwy” and get their life back.

        What sane firm would hire anyone who stays on to toe the line being fed out by this Justice Department? She could immediately about face and start supporting victims who have been disappeared…not much money in it but you can sleep at night.

          Every firm would hire for that. Every lawyer has made a career of defending guilty people at one point or another. Law firms know this, and would want to hire someone who will deliver in that kind of environment.
