Bless her heart.

We need more people like this.

So she's fired now, but she's still working with her team trying to figure this out.

Something isn't sitting right.

And by December, they had gathered enough proof to take their findings to Chuck Banks, the United States attorney at the time who was overseeing the investigation into the corruption of Saline County.

Now what really blows my gasket is the fact that now at this juncture, we know a drug smuggling ring is happening 100 miles east, we know that there is open corruption in Saline County, we know the constituents of this county and of Arkansas are...

in a tizzy about what's going down two miners have now been involved and killed in some way i don't know how everything doesn't just shut down and how the same i mean you don't know which authority figure is corrupt or not but like the fact that it is allowed to perpetuate and policies and things keep happening

It's like the parallels are undeniable.

I hate to make things political, but it's just... It's just the corruption, man.

Dude, it's like, sorry, I'm going to get off on a tangent for a second, but it's like when corruption pops its way into an authoritative level, a county level and then a state level, it's like it can only go up because to unfurl it, to blow it up, it would be so devastating.

It would be so devastating.

just unprecedented that you kind of just continue this sweep it under the rug and hope it kind of stops but it only gets bigger it only gets worse it only gets darker and more sinister and so i feel like that's what we're watching here no i completely agree it's just like how far does the rabbit hole go yeah like where where's the root in the of the infection how can we get it out

Apt analogy once again.

So, okay, so it's December.

They're taking their proof to Chuck Banks, the United States attorney, trying to figure out if they can really pin this all down.

Now, some reports state that she actually brought this information to Banks' assistant instead, which would be attorney Bob Gavar, and that he was the one in charge of the corruption investigation.

Some nuance there, but either way.

Duffy claims that Banks told her their investigation would continue.

However, just six months later, now it's June 1991, he cleared all Saline County public officials of any wrongdoing.

The guy up top, supposed to be helping out, he goes,
