    The key word in “federal prosecutor” is federal. Since you don’t seem to know what that word means, let me help remedy your staggering ignorance. It means they represent the US government. So what state she worked in is irrelevant. Does that help, or should I use pictures and memes?

      I think I could be forgiven for assuming that a state prosecutor works at the state level, not the federal level. US legal structures are far from intuitive.

      If you have a separation between state law and federal law, one would imagine that there is a difference between state prosecutors and federal prosecutors. A district attorney for a state sounds like someone who works at the local state level, not the nationwide federal level. But yeah, apparently a state district attorney can prosecute federal charges, TIL.

          What chest pounding have I been doing? Nowhere have I criticised her qualifications or even disagreed with what she said. All I came here to say was that there was nothing newsworthy in the article. It’s just pointless commentary from a podcaster.

          Maybe you want that kind of validation for the obvious conclusions we’ve both already drawn, but I’d like some actual news.

              I’ve been replying to people replying to me.

              You’re getting offended that I “have a lack of respect for podcasts” lmao, what a petty thing to start an argument over. All I said was she’s said nothing new.
