Should Christina Bobb be held accountable?

We've been hearing that she attested to the fact that Trump had returned all pertinent documents, but now we're focusing on CYA language she added:

"based upon the information that has been provided to me."

I'm sort of thinking, based on this, that there's not much to hold her accountable for legally, despite the moral and ethical problems with representing a criminal client.

Did she satisfy her ethical duty of candor towards the tribunal?

I'd say she did, if this language was included, and she didn't make any further representations about her inquiry.

I'm not a fan, but this stuff makes me think she tried to do her job, while not violating her professional obligations.

And, I also think, that those attacking her for representing Trump should have picked up on this a long time ago.

That language is a red flag and tells the government that she didn't conduct her own thorough search and cannot certify that all documents have been returned. In the context of Trump lying about everything, it literally means nothing.

@windinhishair What's a red flag with Trump, honestly? It's not like there haven't been been plenty, even if you buy they're so false flags.

@MistyCee True. All the non-certification certification does is confirm Trump has more classified documents in his possession. He likely has copied everything he needs for extortion and has them stored in Bedminster, Trump Tower, and other locations. The feds will never recover all that he has.
