Nothing wrong, are those crimes or not, I’ll help refresh your memory — it was last month, Hawley

On 2/1/2022, Senator Hawley said, “And you just amply described your efforts to make sure that folks were not prosecuted. Is there anything you can say to convince us that you’d be able to do your job here with such a large portion of your docket in the midst of one of the worst crime waves in this country’s history?” “The statements and the advocacy that I engaged in were when I was serving in my role as a deputy federal public defender,” Kato responded.

“Have you changed your views since then?” Hawley asked. “My role has changed,” Kato said. Hawley again asked if she would now disagree with her statement that “these people haven’t done anything wrong.” He asked Kato if she agreed that issues like fraud and illegal immigration were crimes. Kato responded by saying that, as a former counsel to individuals Hawley described, it would be “inappropriate” for her to respond to his question.
