They’ll just appoint another gal just like her.

They’ll go through the motions, pretend to investigate more thoroughly and completely.

And when the shucking and jiving is all done - - Juicy Fruit still walks.

Its the Chicago Way.

Seems like the more she objects, then the more likely it is needed.

Is she afraid of obstruction of justice charges?

You'll find it in your kitchen cabinet in a box labeled "Saran Wrap". Nowhere else.
