I couldn’t hear what was said that she was responding to. But in other words she is saying she is willing to take bad cases to the grand jury or to trial, and waste time and money?

it was about the 6 senators that the Admin wanted charged ( not charged ) - that said to disobey unlawful orders. On top of the recent Jerome Powell non-indictment.
And she got red hot.

“Judge James Boasberg quashed subpoenas that had been issued to the Fed in January, ostensibly seeking information about cost overruns on the renovation of the Fed's headquarters. At the time, Fed chairman Jerome Powell had called that a pretext. And Judge Boasberg agreed.
"The Government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President," Boasberg writes in a newly-unsealed opinion. "There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas' dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the President or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will."
“The judge quoted from some of the dozens of attacks President Trump and his aides have leveled at Powell for failing to make deeper cuts in interest rates. The case has become a test of the Fed's ability to set monetary policy without political interference from the White House.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., praised the decision.
"This ruling confirms just how weak and frivolous the criminal investigation of Chairman Powell is and it is nothing more than a failed attack on Fed independence," Tillis wrote in a social media post. "We all know how this is going to end and the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office should save itself further embarrassment and move on."
“U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro showed no sign of backing down, however, promising an appeal and labeling Boasberg an "activist judge."
"He has neutered the grand jury's ability to investigate crime," Pirro said in a news conference after the decision was unsealed. "As a result, Jerome Powell today is now bathed in immunity."
Powell's term as Fed chairman expires in May, but Tillis, who sits on the Senate Banking Committee, has threatened to block any vote on Trump's nominee to succeed him until the Justice Department probe is dismissed.
“Appealing the ruling will only delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair," Tillis wrote.”
Wonder if Powell can sue? Vindictive prosecution.

If he can’t then there is no situation that would meet that definition.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit from Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who pleaded guilty during the Republican’s first term to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian diplomat and was later pardoned.
Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to disclose nonpublic information, confirmed the total as about $1.2 million.
The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn sought at least $50 million and asserted that the criminal case against him amounted to a malicious prosecution.
It also represents a stark turnabout in position for a Justice Department that during the Biden administration had pressed a judge to dismiss Flynn’s complaint.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, a former personal lawyer for the president, has been a vocal critic of the Russia investigation in which Flynn was charged, and the Justice Department in the last year has launched investigations into former officials who participated in that inquiry.……

It's just so sad how badly Trump has destroyed the Justice Department.
They’re evidently using AI to write their briefs. Should be unethical, but I don’t know what rules exist, if any.

It's not unethical if it is reviewed by the signing attorney and determined to be accurate - then it's just a tool. It's entirely unethical and a violation of both the rules of the court and the bar association to file an AI-assisted brief that includes false information. This can be on a scale - a few "hallucinated" case cites is a big deal and will definitely draw punishment. Entire sections of argument with fake quotes from fake cases is a huge deal.
For example: this recent ruling from the Sixth Circuit:
That makes sense. They’re obviously not reviewing the briefs then.

DOJ reopening a decade old case about Eric Swalwell-even though he was cleared of any wrongdoing and cooperated fully with investigators at the time. This is at the express direction of Patel - and breaks many norms at both DOJ and the FBI.
