She was sentenced by a Federal Judge...not a Congressional Cmt.

It's a really bad point....apples to cactus comparison bad

...in telling people what they want to hear.

Naturally, most people base their understanding of the quality of legal analysis by “do I agree with it?”

e.g. Michael Avenatti

"law professors"......there are reports she lost her ABA position because she tried to have a veterinarian prosecuted for the death of her dog through the Illinois AG's office. Highly inappropriate.

ANY legal scholar will tell you that refusing to testify to a Federal Grand Jury...is vastly different than Congressional Cmt. The Cmt can take it court...Hicks can appear and invoke the 5th........then what?

According to the Mueller report...Hicks fully cooperated.
