I think the only surefire way for this to work out well is for her to recuse herself.

As far as "local experience" is concerned, the local 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has already corrected her sternly and directly related to her evidentiary restriction rulings on this case. Does that mean they would honor a DOJ request for involuntary recusal? Beats me. Does that mean the DOJ would decide not to move for involuntary recusal that they could lose and really piss her off? Beats me as well.
Too bad we have a legal system, not a justice system. Any justice anybody gets from this system is incidental.
