She has been charged with crimes. It takes evidence to pursue a search warrant and a judge to issue the warrant based on that evidence. It takes evidence to pursue an arrest warrant and a judge to issue the warrant based on that evidence. These investigations involve multitudes of people and public court filings. I have no doubt in my mind that evidence and charges against her are real and valid cases to pursue under the law. I don't know how important they are to pursue, but this clearly isn't a case of baseless intimidation tactics.
On a personal level I don't care much about her criminal charges or criminal record or her proclivity to making exaggerated claims about how she is treated. These things are simply evidence supporting that she is not a credible witness. However, because she could not substantiate her claims about misconduct in the FL DOH and no one else has offered supportive evidence, the only way for her to establish that her claims should be believed is based on her individual credibility. As such, her claims shouldn't be believed. Again, this does not mean they are necessarily false. It just means that her word for it is insufficient.
The vitriol from the right? She is being scapegoated, pure and simple. Her lack of individual credibility does not carry transitive properties to other whistleblowers representing left-leaning interests. And it certainly does not indicate that those on the right have any sort of moral superiority in converse. Yet, these are the kinds of biases our minds have a natural tendency to develop. That is the reason why I engage in this thread. To enhance our self-awareness -- the very opposite mission of the right.
