I didn't like how her attorneys appeared to "man handle" her during the breaks and would interrupt her testimony when she was asked a simple question about her knowledge. It was very interesting to see her learn that her lawyers had not relayed that the committee would have gladly traveled to her for the hearing! I'm afraid she thinks she's "taking one for the team" (aka women's movement or democrat party), but it really ended up looking like the democrats were using her. The prosecutor was right, there should have been a forensic interview, not a polygraph on the day she buried her grandmother.

I found it far more hilarious how every Dimocrat talked to her like she was a toddler while she sat and nodded her head crying crocodile tears.

but, but....she's a hero! To be fair, I think she believes her testimony, but I don't think it's grounded in reality.
