By that logic, Redford is in trouble for waking up that morning.

Because, if she hadn't, she wouldn't have been able to write that memo.

The comparison between Ford and Redford is thin, because Ford directly had a conflict of interest and Redford had a perceived conflict. One is against the rules, and one is just poor judgement.

That doesn't excuse what Redford did, and it does reflect poorly upon her, but I don't think that the cries of corruption etc that are coming from the WRP faithful in this thread are really justified.
