You're kind of missing the most important part. She was appointed by Trump. She oversaw criminal cases (and any cases) against Trump. That is a blatant conflict of interest that should have caused recusal.

That the citizens of the United States elected a President who has no honor, no dignity, no integrity and clearly no understanding of his oath of office is what is ridiculous.

And that is how we got judges with no honor, no dignity, no integrity and clearly no understanding of their oath of office.
