They all say that supplying false information is a crime.
She lied on her disclosure form, twice.
Only sent the 'oops, I forget' about the ones that the press had already found. Find the many more times that she lied. Problem solved.

Second - the stages of grief are a real thing and we all go through them at different paces.

The fact that process of losing more influence on the court takes several weeks just makes it worse.
