I didn't call her work vague, I called her work frothing self-important boogeyman-ery. I agree that the money should be followed and think she has done a good job of that. I agree that our elections should not be hijacked through misinformation and through otherwise illegal means. But I have 2 lines of questioning:
1. What specifically can you go after the Rockefellers for? In other words, is there a clear legal path that would have any consequence for our bid to get oil to our coast?
My understanding is that they funded the Federal courts appeal through the funneling of money. Is that illegal or just dirty pool? They've also funneled money to fund an elections group that text people. Again, is this illegal? I definitely don't like it, but have they skirted campaign finance law by having it flow through Canadian charities?
2. If this is a legal swamp with more quicksand than vines, must we give way outraged over a politician saying that she would rather not dive into it, but focus her attention on working with the federal and court system that imposed this decision, whatever we may think of them, to get the pipeline done? It seems like it's in line with how she's governed this whole time.
