Tree Lady

Her son had just started working for the justice dept to have regular hours because his big firm wanted a ton of hours per week. They ended up putting him on the case about the files and she said he did all his work in a locked special room with no cells allowed. They did everything to prevent leaks and worked hard.

From what she said I think it took longer because government doesn't do overtime, in fact her son left in the middle of it for 4 months of baby leave. I think Jack was thorough and wanted to make sure he could take Trump down not realizing the judge was in his pocket selling her soul.

And Trumps lawyers filed a bunch of paperwork to stall it, I learned the hard way in a easy divorce that should have taken 6 months got delayed two years because my ex had a paralegal fill out forms to delay delay delay.

So don't blame Jack, I believe he honestly tried. And why he didn't try to take Canon out he must have known something we don't because I believe he would have if he could.
