She just tried to nail Roberts for making a joke about too many lawyers.

She deserves a huge, long, boring, legalistic answer; "I don't want to belabor it," she says, and moves on for another hit.

I'm so glad I'm not Roberts. I would NOT be polite to this disgusting woman.

Did DiFi ever hear of Shakespeare?

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" - it's a lawyer joke

Few people are unfamiliar with the phrase The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyer. Rueful, mocking, it often expresses the ordinary person's frustration with the arcana and complexity of law. Sometimes it's known known that the saying comes from one of Shakespeare's plays, but usually there's little awareness beyond that. This gap in knowledge has inspired a myth of "correction", where it is "explained" that this is line really intended as a praise of the lawyer's role.
