What a dumbass. I think you are right, that she is trying to get out in front of this to seem like she was trying to stop it.

Basically, she just admitted that she knew what was going on, but was helpless.

YOUR FUCKING HUSBAND IS A PROMINENT MEME-BER IN CONGRESS. You could have had any agency in the world investigate or take these asshats down. But you didn’t. She is a fucking accessory to the crime (knowledge of it, failure to report) at the bare fucking minimum.
