After reading the NY Times portion ( I have not read the VF one.) She came off more to me as "eff you I do what I want to make Trump happy" then trying to settle scores.

Either way I can't image Trump will like the coverage. if i were a bottle of ketchup I'd be worried.
 
Something seems off. What would be Susie Wiles’ reasoning for going nuclear bomb scorched earth on the administration *before* she has even left it?
 
Summary of Day 1 — Hannah Dugan trial


“… On this, the attorneys agree: On April 18, Judge Dugan was presiding over the case of Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant charged with domestic violence.

Five federal agents were waiting outside of her courtroom to arrest Flores-Ruiz based on an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. Dugan referred the agents to the chief judge of the courthouse for legal advice and then escorted Flores-Ruiz and his public defender Mercedes de la Cruzthrough a “jury door” that led to a restricted hallway.

Inside that hallway, one door led down a stairwell to an alternative exit and a side door spilled into a public hallway roughly 10 feet from the main entrance.

Prosecutors claim that Dugan intended for Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to exit through the stairwell to evade arrest, but Dugan’s defense team says that she intended for them to leave where they actually exited: a public hallway, where the agents were waiting.

Dugan’s attorney Steven Biskupic said that prosecutors were also wrong about how allegedly “routine” immigration arrests inside courthouses were. The practice sparked “anger, confusion and paranoia” among judges inside the courthouse, Biskupic said….”

“… Dugan’s indictment says that she “falsely” told federal agents that an administrative warrant wasn’t sufficient to effectuate the arrest, but her attorney told the jury that she correctly followed the chief judge’s instructions on the law.

In an email shown to the jury, the Chief Judge from Milwaukee County Circuit Court advised other judges inside the courthouse that an “ICE warrant does not compel courthouse personnel to cooperate.”

During opening statements lasting roughly 90 minutes, the jury heard audio recordings of conversations between Dugan and her court reporter. The two of them could be heard in hushed tones about how Flores-Ruiz’s attorney would exit the courtroom.

“I’ll do it,” Dugan could be heard saying at one point. “I’ll take the heat.”…”
