This is Wonderful News.

Yeah this ain’t the defense they think it is and it’s crazy their attorneys are attempting it.

Believe it or not, people holding appointed office must follow the law first and not orders. Sometimes cited as a duty to disobey. It’s not always clear cut and if you go with this defense, boy you better hope it sticks with the judge.

Because if not, you’ve basically admitted guilt. And all it takes is one email with you CCed saying “I don’t think this is a good idea.” For a Judge to go, “So why didn’t you research that concern?”

Matches. They’re in a lake of gasoline and they using a defense of matches. Let’s see how that plays out.
