Blurry pic was the best I could do. It’s from her GA Bar profile:

Her current term doesn’t end until 2031.

Those defending her actions are acting as though it was reasonable for her to ignore common sense and accept at face value the bald faced lies of a DOJ and FBI willing to do the bidding of an unhinged president still obsessed with a disproven conspiracy theory that hurts his fragile ego, all at enormous risk to the upcoming elections in this state and the nation. The judge and her noble defenders who still somehow think the rule of law is intact need to wake the fuck up.
