"She had one more job to do, she was paid to do it, but didn't because it was "stupid"."
Not buying what? Sounds like the exact excuse I see a ton of people at my own workplace do.
imo She's just incriminated herself for fraud at minimum. And I don't know how the law works in this matter, but I would agree at least in my opinion she's guilty of treason. EVEN IF she totally meant this excuse sincerely.
I generally like to take people at their word when their own word incriminates themselves.
Not for any other reason than Occam's razor though. If there's evidence suggesting she did this intentionally, I'd totally hear it.
But "intentionally" can mean a lot of things. She did it for money. She did it in the interests of some country or entity other than the USA. She did it because she genuinely thought it was stupid and she did this as some sort of weird protest against stupid military decisions in her opinion.
What did she intend?
And is that intention more than merely intending to defraud whomever pays her to do these tests (company she works for, contract, my apologies I don't know the details)?
I just know that WHATEVER she intended.... this excuse "it's stupid" is incriminating in-and-of-itself. Nobody paid her to decide if something is "stupid" they paid her to do it and she did not. And because the consequences are life and death of those that protect the lives of our country- that's treason.
I'm just not sure what you mean by "you don't buy it" maybe you meant all that already or you have a different perspective.
I'm definitely pretty happy with this response.
I wish they would have touched more on the illegality of it. But I am presently surprised it addressed how little sense this rule made.
I'm concerned this won't matter. It sets up a narrative where they can say LOOK those IDIOTS in Louisiana blocked because they're anti-scieeeence! And then they'll have a great story to explain why the supreme court was right to undo this appeal because the supreme court is about the LAwwww /s
** edit I'm an idiot sorry just read the whole thing
I still think they'll say this. But I see the legal issues have been more addressed than I thought.
