Of course youre 100% right about who gets tagged for the job that TrumP did not select her to hear his case, but he did get her in office by nominating her, though she has very little experience. Its my guess he did so because he thought he could control her but thats just a guess. Maybe it was for some better reason, but I dont think so.

True too. But Trump nominated her. She was confirmed in 2020. She had no judicial experience.

No, she applied the wrong legal standard in response to a motion when the opposition didn't cite the correct standard

He already has this information. This is about whether the press and public at large should get it.

What is your evidence "DOJ is taking great pains" to keep her on it?

Well don't you think she should have been removed earlier? Nobody can tell what is in someone's mind

Yes, it is off base to say "don't you think that ..." is evidence of corruption
