A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

    Because win rates matter. If a prosecutor loses a bunch of cases everyone will assume they are wasting money and demand a new one. And/Or they are politizing the law to fulfill the agenda of another party or personal vendetta.

      So basically:

      Prosecutors are minmaxxing the meta, bro!

      Can’t expect the arbiters of the law to have principles and integrity and shit, that’s unrealistic!
