She put the video up on X, not on Bluesky, but it is up on her Instagram account.
"...cuz somebody just said something that doesn't make it evidence....As attorneys we know that that evidence has to be tested in court. That's what due process really looks like. Not just saying that somebody is MS-13. It's whether a judge is determining or not that evidence would be admissible and having the ability to look at the credibility of the witness...such as, when we're talking about Kilmar...there's an article that says government's case against Abrego Garcia is based on PG [Prince George] county cop, who was on the SA's [State Attorney] "do not call" list, because he was not a credible witness. The only one who said that he was in MS-13 is a cop that ended up... I don't think he got fired...okay, nevermind, he did get fired.... this is the problem that we're having in this country. Nobody cares about the truth anymore.... right now, like due process literally comes from the Constitution, this should be the highest protection that anyone can have in the land, and right now it seems like y'all don't care about the Constitution, unless it's the second amendment, and that's misinterpreted as well. There's other amendments to the Constitution. And we don't get to make changes because our fearless leader says he doesn't like parts of the Constitution. We have this process... and there were people who didn't like that there was an amendment that gave women the right to vote, and guess what?... we wound up with something like the SAVE Act because we don't want women to vote..."
There wasn't any background clue to determine which committee she was in at the time.
I'm going to guess that it was the House Judiciary Committee.
She had some other choice words about the value of information on social media.
Always fun to watch.
