Make that hundreds of people were interviewed, 250—I missed that. Durbin asks the panel if, as certain Republicans asserted repeatedly, was her sentencing of child sexual abuse offense cases, was out of the mainstream. Drayton said that never came up from anyone they talked to, and all of the prosecutors praised her.
If it was a real thing, Durbin said, would it have come out in the interviews. Drayton says “yes,” that would have come up and there is absolutely no evidence that this is true. It never came up in any group that they interviewed—from everybody beyond the people on Jackon’s reference list.
