She “ruled” on the case even though she was not ‘judge’.
Just like she “ruled” on the Clinton email case when she publically said (Comey’s ears included) she’d “take the FBI’s word on indictment” - basically telling him to recommend “no-indict”. Just like she “ruled” on the case by surreptitiously meeting with the HUSBAND of the investigation’s TARGET!
I have no disagreements with you at all on the matter!
