Watch the video. I love Oberg's "oh come on" under his breath at the stupid question starting at 2:20. He then breaks in and presses her pretty hard.

It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.

Thats a bad look.

Was a lose lose situation.

Way over confident in her ability to deal with the media.

Lawyers probably told her to stfu but she didn't listen.

Well they have eaten out of her hand for several years so she probably thought they wouldn't press her. She looked nervous as hell.

Local gov't types are used to mainly dealing w/ beat reporters who just want their daily/weekly quotes by deadline. In Lina's unique case, she also spends an insane amount of time talking to national political outlets who will praise her as a young "rising star" without going into any details about the job.

It's a bit different when they have to deal with general assignment/investigative reporters who are used to talking about the sweeps week ratings they can pull and DGAF about maintaining nice relationships or access to local bureaucrats.

Classic journo "here's my prior story mixed in with 2.5 minutes of statement by the target and 1.5 minutes of deflection from the target"...need to fill 3.5 minutes in the 6PM block between the leades and weather.

Still...I have to give Oberg credit for bird-dogin' this one. He is doing a good job, as he usually does on local political coverage.

While some of these folks overdo it on the background, as a reporter you have to assume that every story has a group of people who are just hearing about it.

Oberg's question to her and her face warmed my heart.

I also found it interesting that she kept saying because of the ongoing investigation, I can't answer those "facts."

I feel sorry for the person stuck with Triantaphyllis as their last name.

Triantaphyllis may cause side effects, including dry mouth, blank stare, loss of memory, fidgeting on the stand, excessive blinking, and sensitivity to questions.

Consult your doctor before taking Triantaphyllis.

Best move at this point is to start looking for a condo in DC.

one would think this might take some of the shine off of her national aspirations, but you never know.

If the D's are looking for someone that simply checks the boxes they want (young, female, minority, democratic, etc), I would imagine they can find one without this kind of stink on them.

They are somewhat pot committed though. I guess the machine will sit on the sidelines and wait to see if any of it sticks.

There is a box called "corrupt and controllable" that Lina ticks. The fact that Lina is in hot water here is fantastic news for the Dems. They might have even encouraged the investigation in some way.

The Dems can then pull some strings for Lina and get her off the hook. Then Lina will owe whoever is pulling the strings and they will own her forever.

Didn't anyone watch House of Cards?

What was stupid about the question asking her about retaining a criminal attorney?

That was pretty fast. I've had comments that didn't break any rules stay up for 12 hours or so, then gotten banned when Charpie logged in first thing the next morning.

"Ma'am, you're under criminal investigation…why did you hire a criminal attorney to represent you in that criminal matter?"

Did you fail civics/government/Keith Swim's Mgmt class?
