If she is wrong, then she has sacrificed her career, her reputation, and any hope for a comfortable future.

Think on that and then decide if you're still worried she doesn't have the goods.

All lawyers are grifters, but she cannot continue to grift, if she can't grift successfully. Her work with Flynn is a big testament to her ability to fight.

Not a bad point. Sure, she could spin to gaslight us, but not in a way that would destroy herself. My point is, even when putting aside judgements about her character and sticking entirely to logic, does anyone really think that lying or exaggerating about what evidence she has about something like this would be in her own rational self-interest?

There is no upside to going "all in". Book sales? Nope. More clients after this if it fails? Nope. Capping her very admirable career with the most public failure imaginable? Nope.

She either has the goods, or has lost her mind. Her resume does not indicate any mental instability. I admire her massive accomplishments. She is licensed to the Supreme Court, multiple federal courts, has 180 published opinions, lead counsel on 500 federal appeals, has been President of 5th Circuit Bar, was Phi Beta Kappa. She's probably talking a big game to keep eyes on it. Why else would a sane person set the bar so high?

She comes off as 100% no bullshit, and totally sane. She has a laser focus that can cut journalists in half. She doesn’t speak in that cryptic politician way, she’s saying things straight out, with so much confidence. I believe she already has this in the bag 👍
