re: #287 Belafon

We’re in the evidence gathering phase to convince a grand jury. It would be useful for him to present what he has to cast doubt on the need for a trial.

I fully understand where we are in the process. Right now, it isn’t about excupaltory evidence. It’s about whether there is probable cause that a crime occurred (using these terms more conversationally), with the ability to introduce exculpatory evidence in the Senate. But she’s walking into their talking points a bit with her phrasing.

(And as I said, I know this comes off a bit like a concern troll statement, but it just jumped out at me when I read her statement. I don’t have issues with how she’s been handling things, though).
