In the early 2000s when Martha Stewart was charged with insider trading, I was kind of shocked and thought the prosecutors were picking on her because she was successful.
There are layers to that:
were they picking on her because she's a "Successful Woman"?
because she's famous and by "going after" her, they could become fame-adjacent?
because she built her success on home-keeping, which is traditionally a "Woman's Area"? - (the old term, "women's work") - and that was irritating to the men who were bringing the action against her?
...Or - is James Comey just a grandstanding dolt?
Snoop Dog has the intelligence to know that "just to be in her presence" would be "an upgrade" for him. The same is true for "Detective" Comey, but did he have the brains to see that?
