It's really a simple question. Do you think it's a conflict of interest to award a million dollar contract to a firm you have personal ties to?
whether or not she "legally" broke any laws is not really the point. she's smart enough to skirt those laws.
her ex-husband is a partner, whether or not he's involved directly is irrelevant. he's going to profit from it. he's going to profit because of a recommendation directly from Redford that the government use his firm.
