You've got to remember, Weasley is the former AG, and you KNOW if he's calling for her, a fellow dim, to step down he's checked the case out thoroughly and is very confident she's guilty.

To be fair, I don't think he's the type. He has other faults. Plus, there are different "circles" within the NC dim party, and I don't think he belongs to the one she is part of.

Maybe she could move up north and start growing grapes for a living. You know, find a nice bovineyard to tend.
