But doesn't that say something to you? To me, she's saying she sides with dark money over transparency. You know, JFK's Dad, Joe Kennedy, before stock market pump-and-dump was made illegal, was once quoted as saying that they had to make as much as they could using pump-and-dump, because it wasn't going to be legal for much longer. That didn't make it right.

She certainly sided with dark money in the hearing, chiding the Congress to change it, which as another commenter stated would be a good idea. I’d go one further: it’s a necessary idea if we hope to save our democracy.

Don’t get me wrong, I question J’s credibility but at the same time feel she was a tough witness. I’m speaking as an old trial lawyer trying to figure how I would have cross-examined her and what effect she would’ve had on an unbiased jury.

My legal sense is mostly what I've read over the years. I'm better with people sense, and my experience is that people like her are usually pretty easy to trap. They're so full of themselves and so cock-sure, yet they're not that bright, so I've found I can get them to "step in it" quite easily. However, as I've already described Jankowicz as a little girl probably being like the character Rhoda Penmark... I wouldn't mess with her. Seriously.
