    TLDR The point of killing people at this stage is to remove obstacles to the fascist administration. A person who resigned on inauguration day isn’t an obstacle.

    I do not get where the users commenting about conspiracies and upvoting them are coming from with this line of reasoning. US doctors are notoriously bad at diagnosing women’s health problems as they are trained on almost exclusively male patients.

    It’s not a conspiracy. We are overpaying for the worst healthcare system in developed countries. The healthcare system is killing us.

    Not to mention this month’s bombing operation in Yemen was leaked to the Atlantic via the chief editor being invited to the Signal group. This administration doesn’t have the wherewithal to target people who resigned voluntarily or the ability to keep it secret in real time.

    This person resigned. That’s what the fascists want. They want everyone who disagrees with them to exit the government so they can replace them with loyalists. Her resignation is not some bold act of resistance, it was more of the same, complying in advance.

    If a person stays in their position, openly defies the administration, appeals illegal attempts to have her removed, and then is killed that’s when we all need to be pointing out a potential conspiracy.

    This person got out of the way for fascists and then died because she was receiving substandard care for a known health condition because Republicans have been allowed to privatize everything at our expense for decades.

    She did great work as an US attorney. But she didn’t provide any resistance to the incoming administration. The bulk of meaningful resistance from inside the government has been from federal judges. These federal judges are the only ones would even merit this kind of treatment. They are the ones whose court orders are slowing down this administration.

    The Trump administration has already ignored one judge’s order to turn around planes to El Salvador. The Trump administration is trying to appeal to the Supreme Court to get these court orders overturned. If that doesn’t work they will likely ignore them.

    In fact, the Trump administration wants to remove universal injunction all together, so the courts will lose a crucial check on the executive branch.

    Harris characterized the district courts’ orders in the three birthright citizenship cases as “part of a broader trend.” Since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, she complained, “district courts have repeatedly issued orders that superintend the internal operations of the Executive Branch by prohibiting the formulation of new policies.” But “[y]ears of experience have shown that the Executive Branch cannot properly perform its functions if any judge anywhere can enjoin every presidential action everywhere. The sooner universal injunctions are ‘eliminated root and branch,’” she concluded, “the better.”

    These federal judges are the people this administration would want killed because they are actively resisting the fascists in an impactful way. And they probably won’t bother to kill any judges in the short term. If the Supreme Court doesn’t make this problem go away the fascists will ignore the courts. edit: typos

      The problem is simple. We’ll never actually know. And, for all your very eloquent arguments, the fuckwits at the top are kinda, well, fucking idiots, so no, the fact she isn’t a very logical target does not provide a convincing argument against foul play. In fact, the painted turd pretending to run the show clearly has a revenge fetish.

      That said, the real tragedy is how any family and friends surviving her have to watch her death get instantly politicized.
